child to certain places or a sin gle mother who might be trying to jug gle working and spending time with her children big brothers and sisters can help ms wolfe said you wouldnt think it would make much of a difference but it has a big impact on a childs life ms wolfe said immigrants can find canadian role models for their daughters through the agency although girls can get big sisters even if their mothers are still in the pic ture because of a shortage of male vol unteers boys cant be matched if a father figure is present with countless tales of children who benefit from the various programs the organization offers ms parsons said one stands out three years ago a seven-year- old boy found his way to big brothers big sisters and according to his teachers he never smiled walked
