  • 52% less likely to skip school

March 2010- Match of the Month

Big Brother Sean & Little Brother Tulio

Tulio and Sean have been matched for two years in the after school program at Dr. Crisp Elementary School in Nashua. Since the two have been matched, they have formed a solid friendship! In Tulio’s words, “it is nice to have a big brother that is there to help me and be with me all the time.” “Sean is nice and is there for me and if I have a problem he will talk to me.”  During their visits after school, the two of them share similar interests and enjoy playing games like Sorry, Uno, Lego’s and of course work on homework!

Sean was proud to say that he has become more responsible since being matched with his little brother Tulio. He feels it is “good to meet someone new and get to know a really good friend.”  Although Sean is leaving for college after this school year, the two of them are committed to remaining friends and thankful for the time they have been able to hang out together. Sean enjoys being a big brother; “Tulio is funny and interesting!” The two of them smile and laugh every week and look forward to the next time they get to hang out. Tulio sums it up well, “it feels like I have a real brother!”
