Help Alisa raise money

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 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 from an interested young adult. So that is what we do, and it works! 

In the last year, we have provided over 350 children each with 25 free mentoring sessions.  Our Little Buddies represent 37 schools in the Lower Mainland and beyond. In the coming year, we hope to reach 500 children. We have new opportunities through the VSB and Surrey school boards, and also in a community in northern BC.

We count on the generosity of our supporters to be able to serve the needs of our many Little Buddies.  

Here is a quote from a sponsor teacher at one of our schools: (May 28, 2022) 

“Your presence has benefited many children and parents in our community with security, increased confidence, and hope. Please trust that the work that you do here has a profound effect in making our future more caring, more aware, and more kind.  My gratitude for LBN runs deep, and I look forward to continuing our connection into the next school year.”
