Chris Rose tells us about last Tuesday's Big Bunch session being completely different from the previous two sessions.

We have twenty more Big Brothers and Big Sisters mentoring children/youth in schools across Ottawa!

Nous avons vingt nouveaux Grands Frères et Grandes Sœurs de jumelés dans nos écoles.

As our blog continued to grow and attract new readers, we are excited to announce two new bloggers from our InSchool Mentoring team.

Comme notre blog continu d'élargir sa présence au sein du monde virtuel et d'attirer de nouveaux lecteurs, c'est avec GRAND plaisir que nous vous présentons aujourd'hui deux nouveaux bloggeurs.

Chris Rose tells us about the second meeting of the Big Bunch group. Sounds like a great way to spend a Tuesday night!  

As our Fall 2008 semester for Meet You in School is wrapping up, we would like to share with you a story from one of this year's students. Alyssa from Woodroffe High school was matched with 8 Littles from two schools in the West end of Ottawa. Read on as Alyssa shares how participating in this program has had an impact on her life.

As children, most of us had dreams of becoming something great when we grew up. Maybe you wanted to be a police officer or become the next Prime Minister. Perhaps you had dreams of becoming a nurse or judge or owning your own business one day. Well Jovanni also has similar dreams, except he intends on becoming all of the above!

The BBBSO blog was launched in early 2008 as a mode of dynamic communication for everyone currently involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters Ottawa (BBBSO) or anyone wanting to know more. We have on average 100 people visit our blog each month. With Mentoring Coordinators sharing match stories, regular updates from our Fund Development department and now with our Enrollment Coordinators introducing new Littles from the waitlist each month we hope that readers will be able to get a sense of what it means to be part of something BIG! Today, we are excited to introduce you to our newest blogger, April Clavel-Cholette, Enrollment Coordinator for Families.

Le blog de Grands Frères Grandes Sœurs d'Ottawa (GFGSO) a été créé au début de 2008 dans le but d'offrir un mode de communication dynamique à tous ceux et celles qui prennent part aux activités de GFGSO ou qui souhaitent en savoir plus à notre sujet. En moyenne 100 personnes se rendent sur notre blog chaque mois. Les coordonnateurs des programmes de mentorat y relatent des histoires de jumelage, des nouvelles concernant nos activités de levées de fonds y sont régulièrement affichées et, depuis peu, nos coordonnateurs des admissions y présentent chaque mois de nouveaux Petits inscrits à la liste d'attente. Sans doute qu'à la lecture de notre blog, les internautes comprendront un peu plus ce que cela signifie de faire partie de quelque chose de GRAND! Aussi, est-ce avec GRAND plaisir que nous vous présentons aujourd'hui notre nouvelle blogueuse, April Clavel-Cholette, coordonnatrice des admissions auprès des familles.
