Today we told you about Claudio Granjean, a Detective Sergeant with the Gresham Police who invests a few hours a week with a sixth-grader named Eamonn. Eamonn’s father is serving overseas and at home he’s the only boy amongst mom and four sisters. Granjean got involved with the Face to Face mentor program specifically to help Eamonn.
The two spend time talking about life, school … and occasionally talking trash while playing a basketball game on Granjean’s I-Pod Touch.
There are lots of kids like Eamonn who could use a buddy a few days a week. For more info about Face to Face mentoring, check out this link.
