Inspired by his strong relationship with his own father, William Dunn takes kids without dads out for fishing. William Dunn is the founder of Take a Kid Fishing, Inc., a nonprofit organization in Lakeland, Florida, which focuses on mentoring (指导) underprivileged and fatherless kids through the sport of fishing.
A dozen years ago, William noticed his six-year-old neighbor, Camran, seemed angry. He often stormed out of the house, shouting at the sky. One day, William saw the boy outside and started a conversation. Camran told him that his dad wasn’t in his life.
William asked Camran’s mom for permission to take him fishing. Camran was attracted by that first trip. The two fished together several times a week, and William saw positive changes in Camran’s behavior. “That’s when I realized that it was my responsibility to help fatherless kids,” he says. Soon William was teaching Camran’s friends and other kids in the neighborhood to fish.
During the week, William works as a tire salesman. On weekends, he and a few other volunteers, mostly people from his neighborhood, take 20 to 25 kids out for fishing on a boat. William reaches out to local foster homes and group homes to invite the kids to spend the day on the water. Many have never been fishing or even on a boat, so William — or Big Will, as the kids call him — starts by teaching the basics. Then come the life lessons that fishing offers: patience, teamwork and the simple joy of relaxing in the outdoors.
Take a Kid Fishing, Inc. has taken more than 600 fishing trips with over 1,500 kids who don’t have a father in their lives. “They went through a lot and saw a lot, and their lives were difficult,” William says. “But when they were fishing, all of that faded away. On the boat, they’d be laughing, smiling and making new friends,” he says. “I knew I was on to something.”
