Follow on Google News | Dr. Claudio Cerullo attends Greater Wilmington Mentoring Commission Mentor Recruitment KickoffOn Tuesday, October 7, 2008, there was a noise heard from St. John’s Cathedral in Wilmington, Delaware.
By: Barbara Klein There were 72 people in attendance. Some major players included representatives from: o All 4 school districts in the Greater Wilmington Area o JPMorgan Chase o WSFS Bank o Blue Cross Blue Shield o Delaware Hospice o AstraZeneca o Community Organizations o Faith-Based Community o Senator Tom Carper, Mayor James Baker, Mr. Jim Wolfe Speeches were captivating, concrete and personal. While Senator Carper spoke on mentoring in his own life, experiences he had being a mentor himself, and how important it is to be a mentor, Mr. James Wolfe appealed to the business community, making the ask to recruit 500 mentors, making the challenge to those present to make a difference for children and to make a difference for the future. Mayor Baker was the last to present as a guest speaker. Wilmington is his city, and while he loves his city, he fears for it as well. Mayor Baker brought tough topics to the surface; the drop-out rate, gang violence, reading levels, incarceration increasing in Wilmington’s youth and the fact that these children will continue down the wrong path unless there is a caring adult standing in their way. Dr. Claudio Cerullo made the introduction and finished with closing remarks; stressing the drop-out rate, gang violence and the return on investment of time for saving a child’s life…it’s priceless. Cerullo provided simplistic directions for necessary steps to take, information to follow-up with and reiterating the ask again that Mr. James Wolfe had previously made. # # # About Dr. Claudio Cerullo Dr. Claudio V.
