We want to recapture the forever feelings love arouses in us just as a flower wants to maintain its beautiful appearance A simulation of this relationship is shared by Carmen Walker, 27, and Latoya Baxter, 10. They recapture those special feelings at least four hours a week through the Big Sister Little Sister program in Charlotte. “I really enjoy spending time with her and seeing her happy," replied Walker, a native of Anderson, SC. “She is a real loving child with a bright future ahead of her I hope that I can give her incentive to strive to reach her goals.” Matched since July 23rd, the duo has seen and done some pretty interesting things. “We’ve been to Carowinds, Discovery Place and to South Carolina to meet Carmen’s family,” mentioned Latoya, a fourth grader at Ashley Park Elementary “Carmen is very nice and she is like a real big sister. I don't have any brothers and sisters, but Carmen is just like family to me.” Walker, a 1981 Clemson graduate, is employed by Duke Power Co. as a Recruitment Specialist. She became interested in becoming a big sister while living in Greenville. SC "Initially, I became involved with the Big Sister Little Sister Agency in Greenville, but my job relocated me to Charlotte before I was matched with a little sister," she pointed out. "When I finally got settled down in Charlotte in March I contacted the Agency here. I applied and I also encouraged others to do so because it doesn’t take up much of your time, and it’s very rewarding,” added Walker, who has a one-year commit ment with Latoya. “This is pretty much a new couple,” noted Robin Meyer, counselor for the couple “Latoya is doing well in school and she is very active She also gets a lot of support from her grandmother " The purpose of Big Sisters-Big Brothers is to provide adult friend ship and guidance to children ages 7-15, living in one parent families. All matches are supervised by professional counselors. Volunteers are carefully screened and matched according to their interests, personalities, back grounds and personal preferences.
