Here is another testimonial from 2 siblings in our program about their mentors Neveeka and Balky. Mom said that "We are very appreciative of their efforts. I can see both kids are over the moon happy with their mentors personalities and events/activities they participate in together ❤️ Even as a family I can say they have infused lightness, love and happiness and taken some stress off me having to do it all alone. The mentors match the kids' energy so perfectly."
