Why Mentor

I applied for a summer internship with The Mentoring Project last week. Haven’t heard anything back, but I am excited about the possibility of being involved.

You can read some of why I want to be a part of this HERE.

Don Miller wrote a great post on TMP and some vision behind it.

I’ve seen two great videos that explain a lot the “why” behind the organization.

Bottom line: ridding the world of fatherlessness through mentors would change the world.

I won’t say anything else because these two videos speak for themselves.

(Videos embedded and worth watching RSS readers)

Do those statistics surprise you as much as they surprise me (in a sad way)?

Fatherlessness has written a bad story for this world, but the great thing about TMP is that it desires to write a better story for kids’ lives.
