M.A.L.E. commences ‘Mentorship Day’ for schools
President of M.A.L.E. Pastor Henderson K. Tittle, speaking with this news site, said, “We are calling it Mentor’s Day. We are targeting the boys in the schools, where we take them out of the school environment for an hour or two and take them to the Save the Seed Energy Centre.”
“We offered motivational discussions on respect then the boys went for lunch, and then they came back and who wanted to play basketball played basketball and who wanted to bowl took part in the bowling and at the end of that we had an award session where we honour the top boys in the different sporting events,” said Pastor Tittle.
“It is a new initiative by M.A.L.E. for the boys of classes 4 and 5,” he said, adding that the boys that took part are not necessarily members of M.A.L.E.
On Friday February 27, 2015, boys from the St George’s Primary School were recorded as the first group to benefit from the new initiative. They took part in not only mentorship and motivational speeches but enjoyed bowling and basketball.
Pastor Tittle said the programme will continue based on the responses from the various schools that have been written to requesting that they send their boys to participate.
According to the Pastor, they are planning to have a bowling tournament in honour of M.A.L.E. member Jelani Lettsome who passed away late last year. “Out of these [Mentoring Day sessions] we will be able to see the boys from the different who will be able to enter this tournament,” he said.
A date has not yet been fixed for this tournament.
