AMACHI MATCH OF THE YEAR
Pam and Hailey |
 |
 |
Brother Jon Downs and Little Brother Christian have been matched in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Acadiana Community Based program for about a year and a half. This match has spent many, many hours together growing
close as friends. Through Jon’s mentoring support, Christian
has improved his grades in school, his confidence and his communication skills. Jon feels like he and Christian have
become very close and the relationship they have has been
very rewarding. Jon Downs is a student at UL doing a double
major in History and English. Jon and Christian have
common interests like playing video games, reading, going
fishing, bowling, playing basketball and just spending time talking and hanging out. The two
really enjoy their time together. Because of their awesome commitment to each other, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Acadiana has chosen this fantastic duo as our Match of the Year for 2007.
Congratulations to Jon and Christian and good luck on a bright future!!!

Big Sister Pam and Little Sister Hailey began
their relationship as a Bigs in Schools program match
in January of 2006. By that summer, they had developed
a wonderful friendship and decided to convert
to our Community Based program. Pam and Hailey
spend a lot of time together having fun and learning
from each other. They have participated in many of
our agency activities as well as other activities in the
community. They have attended two of the Acorns
and Oaks activities where children spend time with
residents of the Amelia Manor Nursing Home. Pam
likes to show Hailey community service and teach her to give back in the same way that she is
able to give. These two have really been a wonderful example and shown others how to serve.
In addition to bringing happiness into each other’s lives, they have brought smiles to many
faces. Because of this, they were awarded the Amachi Match of the Year.
Thank you for your
commitment to each other and to our agency! We wish you the best of luck with many more
years of friendship in your future! |
