"Mentoring Saves Lives"

Interestingly enough, this weekend's Parade magazine has an article on mentoring. It's written about a 7-year relationship between an adult and a child/teen. The man chose to do it because of what he could give to the child and was surprised at what he received in return. Both were nourished by the relationship. What resonated with me was the mention of trust. I truly believe that this is what makes the difference; without trust you can't have the reciprocity that is needed for mentoring. Read the article for yourself.
