Dear friends,
I'm very happy to share with you great news - during the last month we launched a campaign for hiring new mentors! It was a great success and seems like more and more people are willing to volunteer and help youth. We held many interview with candidates and selected a group of 20 enthusiasts who meet our criteria and will support our youth as mentors. The campaign was part of a local volunteer platform and was so interesting and valuable for the volunteers that the training even received some support from the platform.
I'm actually just caming back from their first training. Trust me, these people are great! During two days we discussed how to work with youths who have no parents, how to be good mentors, how to listen and communicate effectively, how to react in different situations. They were full of ideas and good questions!
Now they are eager to start meeting young people in need and support them in their career seeking, homework doing and responsability taking. Let's wish them good luck! Thanks to your help we managed to give them some extra reading materials, books about unpriviledged youth and, of couse, certificates showing that they are now able to support youth without parents in an adecuate way!
Thank you for trusting in our cause and helping make this possible!
Best regards,
Gergana Kicheva
