  • Student Josten Sanchez's parents met his mentor Abhijit Divekar for the first time Tuesday. "The mentorship is excellent- they are with the kids for five years, which is almost his whole life in school. The best thing is to focus on the future and school, and I love the diversity of the program. Abhijit is Indian, but here we are together," said Josten's mom Karen Valentin. (Photo by Alhaji Camara)
