Coordinating Mentors (CMs) are graduated Little Sisters who choose to mentor and monitor progress for groups of 25-50 younger Little Sisters in LSF's partner schools. CMs play a critical role in our work, regularly checking in with each girl regarding her academic performance, home and family situation, and general well-being. In areas where we do not have any graduates, we rely on local women, typically social workers or NGO employees. Coordinating Mentors are our “foot soldiers”, the eyes and ears (and arms and legs) of what we do on a daily basis. It is only thanks to their hard work and caring that a small permanent staff in Kathmandu can so effectively oversee the education of thousands of Little Sisters throughout Nepal.
