  • 52% less likely to skip school
  • 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
  • More likely to get along with their families and peers

February 2010- Match of the Month

Big Sister Pamme & Little Sister Hannah

Later this month Pamme Boutselis and Hannah Winslow will be celebrating 2 years in the Big Brother Big Sisters community based program. They are very excited about this milestone, and have a wonderful relationship to celebrate!

Pam and Hannah meet a couple of times a month and love to bake, watch movies, and go to the book store. Pam and 8 year old Hannah also share a love for animals and have visited zoos, the pet store, and have spent time walking Pam’s dogs. 

Hannah loves to meet with her Big Sister because “she is so nice and nice to talk to”. Hannah also loves that her Big Sister likes to read and likes books. Hannah especially remembers going to Barnes & Noble’s Polar Express event in December, where there was a reading of the Polar Express book and hot cocoa!

Pam loves meeting with Hannah because she is open to any experience and is truly appreciative of the time they spend together. Pam enjoys doing activities with Hannah that she had once done with her own children, who are now much older.   For Pam it is like a mini vacation, when she is with Hannah regardless of what is going on in her life, it’s a reminder of how much fun even the simplest of things can be!

Share a little Time. Make a BIG Difference. For information on how you can become a Big Brother, call 603-883-4851.
