“Before when she would come home, she didn’t like to talk to me. She would never notice that I was sad or depressed. As a mom, I was doing my best to make sure she has my love, attention, and care. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive the same approach from her. However, thanks to Nor Luyce my daughter has changed. It has been only 4 months and I see a big change in her. She started to talk to me. She became empathetic and caring. She even started to motivate me for a better future.” – a mom of one of our mentees was calling to express her gratitude for the change she saw in her daughter. She was sharing her story through the tears of happiness.
During these months, 144 individual mentoring meetings have been provided to our mentees. The meetings allowed the girls to reveal their personal traits, learn about their strengths and weaknesses. For the mentors to be able to help the mentees more, we provided them with 32 hours of pre-mentoring and on-going mentoring training that allowed the mentors to be prepared for conducting a better work while working with mentees.
Along with the individual meetings, the girls also took part in 86 hours of group meetings that allowed them to not only get acquainted with each other and mentors but also to gain a number of skills, such as teamwork, time management, public speaking, personal hygiene, healthy living, etc.
The girls also had a chance to meet with public figures who shared with them the key to their success and motivated the girls to fight for their dreams.
