Day 264
I was contacted by Faithful Friends PDX, who pairs volunteer mentors with kids age 6-9, about some of these pairings being a part of #catch365. That’s how I met Sincere (age 9) and his mentors Bryan & Pamela.
Sometimes it’s just a catch…sometimes you set a World Record

Another #newmatch to share! Welcoming Todd and his new #mentee whose sister is also matched with a #mentor. These siblings are going to have a big advantage in learning their new adopted culture thanks to the care of their mentors.

May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month and we are blessed to live in a place where we have a truly global heritage who have made the Portland area home, whether generations ago or more recently. Read more at https://t.co/xZTTURT6ty

The month of May is #mentalhealthawareness month and here in #Oregon we’re not doing super well.

Find out how our mentors are helping. Link in bio.

How fun is this?!? Our mentor Chandler Subra just got to beautify some #multnomahvillage planters. She’s an illustrator and graphic designer and has mentored twice now, both before and after moving to and from Boston. Story link in bio.

Check out our new college intern Anara Gillock studying at @multnomahu

This young lady looks forward to working in #internationaladoption but for now she’s spending time with us, the ministry that so many of her family members volunteer with as mentors. How 😎 is that?

[Faithful Friends PDX @PdxFriends]

Hey mentors: our staff photographer is eager to get some dates on the calendar to come spend time at one of your future mentoring hangouts. DM to get started. Did we mention it’s free?!?

[Faithful Friends PDX @PdxFriends]

Guess where we went in April to share about #mentorship in #portland? Love our church partners!

DM us for your own visit.

It’s a bit belated now, but worth mentioning that last month was our birthday. Faithful Friends just turned 9! We are so grateful for the many volunteers and staff, both present and past, who have all played a part in life-changing mentorship.
