To become a mentor:
Hello Valerie, 
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us. We offer a mentoring program in which we
work with children from different villages in order to empower them to learn and to help them
stay at school.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please fill out the following form:

Info about sessions:

You are only expected to mentor one hour per week and the time for the mentoring sessions will
depend on your availability; however, you will be mentoring every week at the same time that you
select. For example, if you choose to mentor on Thursdays at 09:00 am EST, then you will be mentoring
every Thursday at the same time.

Being an online mentor involves empowering your mentee to learn and showing them that education
can change their lives. We want to decrease the dropout rates of children at school since many of them
do not get to finish their primary school. The idea is that mentors motivate them and teach them new
skills that they could use at school and for their lives.

I hope this has brought some clarity on what being an online mentor is.

Let me know if you have any other quest

Missing sessions:
Hello Carmen,
I hope you are doing well. We have noticed that you have already missed 2 mentoring sessions without
an excuse. Is everything okay? Remember that we have a commitment with these kids and we need to
be consistent. Please let us know if you are able to continue mentoring.

Thank you!

Joining workspace:
Hi Xinyu,

This is Mustafa Baig, your mentor advisor for the Ahero program. I apologize that I have not introduced
myself nor reached out to you about joining Facebook workplace.

Facebook Workplace is a great place where you can collaborate with other mentors to find resources
and solutions to the obstacles your mentee may be facing. You can also reach out to Alex and Mwila
there to ask more questions about your mentee and their needs.

Please spend the next week logging onto Facebook Workplace, downloading it onto your phone, and
becoming familiar with it. Introduce yourself to Mika and the other mentors with a quick post telling
them about yourself!

All communication will be done through Facebook Workplace. After your mentoring session, I will send
you a Google Form so that I can receive your feedback from the mentoring session you completed that
day.

Here is the Facebook Workplace invitation link: https://fb.me/g/5lfLobz01/e45MiLd2

Please be sure to join with your village mentors address.

Attached below are instructions on how to get started.

Onboarding New Mentors:
Hello Ven,
You have been paired with Bravine Magana! He is in the 3rd grade and is so eager to
start!

The most important part of mentoring is the long-term, consistent relationship you form. We do
not expect you to be another educator for Bravine, rather a source of inspiration and support.
Village Book Builder’s purpose is to help others love learning.

Facebook Workplace is a great place where you can collaborate with other mentors to find
resources and solutions to the obstacles your mentee may be facing. You can also reach out to
Alex and Mwila there to ask more questions about your mentee and their needs.

Please spend the next week logging onto Facebook Workplace, downloading it onto your

to know each other better!
Your first session will be on Saturday, August 21 at 8:00 am EST.
This will serve as a getting-to-know-you time so that you can better prepare for Bravine
Magana's specific needs and interests. Most of these kids have never seen a computer before,
so be patient as they may have difficulty using the computer or opening up right away. 
If you experience any technical difficulties or your mentee is absent, please contact
Lawrence Chavuza and Mohamad Al Zein by messaging “Maragoli” and "Mohamad Al
Zein" on Facebook Workplace.
