Hello all,
I am happy to say that The Butterfly Buddies has now been helping children build meaningful friendships for around 8 months! I sincerely hope that this program has been a positive experience for you and your child. For me, there is nothing more beautiful than reading the emails that the volunteers and participants exchange. I remember the first time one of the participants ended his email with “Your friend, ” instead of just “From, ” I broke down in tears because that is what the Butterfly Buddies is all about. If you have any suggestions on how to improve the program, please let me know! I am always looking for the input of parents and participants, as you guys are the ones who I am doing this for in the first place. Some of you guys have been emailing your buddies for almost a year now, and it has been really cool for me to see how the friendships develop and how you guys are able to trust and open up to your buddy more as time goes on. Let’s continue to create life-long friendships, and if you are new to the program, please sign up or email me with any questions that you have.
