“Thank Your Mentor” Event On January 21st

January is Mentoring Month and on Thursday January 21st Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bermuda will commemorate this momentous occasion by hosting a “Thank Your Mentor” event on the steps of City Hall. They would like to invite the Bermuda public to come out to celebrate Mentors in Bermuda.

The event will start at 12:30pm to 1:30pm. During the event they will highlight their Bigs [Mentors] and name the Big Brother and Big Sister of the year.

The Minister of Community, Culture and Sports Patricia Gordon-Pamplin is also scheduled to say a few words as well as some of the Bigs and Littles involved in the programme. In the event of inclement weather the event will move into the City Hall foyer.

Managing Director Patrina O’Connor-Paynter said, “Most people have had a mentor in their lives that have helped them along the way. We want to celebrate all Mentors and the programmes in the island that promote mentoring.

“For the next two weeks BBBS is also trying to make Mentoring in Bermuda go viral!! Everyday we will be posting one or two videos on social media from our Bigs, Littles, Board members, Local Celebrities and members of the Bermuda community about how they feel about mentoring.

“We will be using the International hashtag #MentorIRL [which means Mentor in real life] and our own hashtag #BBBSofBDA. We want the Bermuda public to get involved and highlight someone that has been a mentor in their lives and post on social media using the hashtags.”

They encourage everyone to check out their Facebook Page “Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bermuda” and Twitter account – @BBBSBDA as the posts will happen daily.
