"Your program requires no thinking. I don't analyze it. I don't have to analyze it. I can see how it works every time I see a Big Brother or a Big Sister at work. I see it every time I run into a child whose life has been changed by a Big Brother or a Big Sister. I know the program works. But at the same time that we are bringing such attention to this program and more and more people are stepping forward to become Big Brothers and Big Sisters, guess what? Far more children are being offered up as children in need of a Big Brother or Big Sister."
