My Story…
Learning Buddies Network is a grass roots organization. We provide one on one free mentoring for little kids in elementary school who are struggling with reading or math. The idea of LBN came from my medical practice—I am referred kids who are not picking up the basics of primary grade skills and get discouraged early. Many of them are children without any true disability, but who need a boost, and whose families are not in a position to do that. They don’t need a lot of expensive stuff, just some serious encouragement and direction in their learning. Our mentors are interested young adults who engage the child’s motivation to see themselves as capable learners. So that is what we do, and it works:
“I love reading! My Buddy is the best teacher ever!”
Emma C, Grade 2
“I used to hate math, but my Buddy showed me how to do it and now it is easy peasy" Manjat J. Grade 4.
A donation of $100 sponsors 1child for 10 sessions. We would greatly appreciate any support!
Description
Your donation allows the Learning Buddies Network to do our work! Funding pays our dedicated staff to do the many things necessary to allow the classroom learning to take place. Help us to build self-esteem and inspire a love of learning in children who would not otherwise receive the academic support they need. Our Little Buddies appreciate the program, and we love to see the light turned on and the happiness our Little Buddies experience with true achievement! We have a waitlist of schools who are requesting our services, so the more we raise the more we can do. Any race participant who raises at least $200 will have the registration fee refunded.
