Black Hawk County School Based Big of the Year

Congratulations NAN KANE, Black Hawk County School Based Big of the Year!
 
Nan Kane began her time with Big Brothers Big Sisters in 2009 and has been active in her role as a Big Sister mentor ever since.  Nan has been matched with her current Little Sister, Mo'randa since December 9, 2011.  They enjoyed their time together in school so much that in February 2012 they transferred their match to the School Based Plus program.  Nan and Mo’randa meet once a week at school and once or twice a week outside of school.  At school, Nan and Mo’randa play games, share in conversation and work on school work.  Outside of school they enjoy attending Big Brothers Big Sisters' events, watching movies, going to all of the local swimming pools, baking and just spending quality time with one another.

Mo’randa's mother suffers from illness and limited mobility and felt her children could benefit from the services offered at Big Brothers Big Sisters.  Mo'randa became a Little Sister to discover new opportunities and experiences in life.  Nan has taken her role as a mentor very seriously and has developed a strong relationship with Mo'randa's family.  Nan attends Mo’randa’s school performances and activities and she and her husband, Dave, take Mo’randa and her siblings to church every week.  Mo’randa’s mother is grateful for the support her children receive and the friendship her daughter has found.
