During week one I and my new mentor took the first step to the Big Brother Project by meeting for the first time and in agreement decided the structure of the project with one main idea which is to establish a psycho educational support program to a group of first graders from school for a period of 2 years. Meeting once a week with a group of students teaching them hands-on workshops and later evaluating the development of their growth through different Tests under the supervision of Educational psychologist Monica Riascos. Aside from the logistics of the project we also discussed the ethical components of Big Brother and concluded that all of the activities done in the would be hands-on program and supervised, all excersices will be adjusted to students comfort. Students who suffer from education lag will be asked to participate in the Big Brother support program.
