About Us
Try to envision an image from your childhood
Who is standing by your side? Mom? Dad? An older brother or sister?
Who is standing by your side? Mom? Dad? An older brother or sister?
It is almost certain that someone was there for us when we were kids. But for thousands of kids the reality of that image is not as certain. Without a caring and supportive adult figure they are many times left to cope with life on their own. This uncertainty results in feelings of loneliness, a low sense of confidence and self esteem and the potential exposure to negative influences in their search for an adult role model.
You can make a change in their childhood memories
We will match you with a child in need of your guidance and support- to play together, to talk or to just hang out.

Over time, your presence and the bond that will evolve between the two of you, will make a significant difference in the child's sense of self worth and in their lives in general. It will also change your own life. A meaningful and memorable experience awaits you…
Two hours a week, a lifetime in itself.
We believe that volunteer work should coincide with your life and schedule in order to enable you to wholeheartedly give back without giving something up in the long run. That is why the encounters take place weekly for two hours each time. The long term accumulated benefits will surprise you…
