The Foster System
Manage episode 297571416 series 2422556
Did you know that there's a community of foster parents in Singapore who contribute as a labour of love to provide safe and nurturing homes for vulnerable children? Frankly, Elliot and Rovik were not very aware before this recording of this incredibly coordinated and involved ecosystem of social workers, policy planners, and families who go the distance to ensure no children are disadvantaged because of unfortunate circumstances. We're especially privileged to have Hannah from TSA Gracehaven Fostering, and Shikin, a foster mother, as guests to share their experiences as well!. In this episode, we:
- Understand who is eligible to be Foster Parents
- Follow the journey it takes for a child to be placed in a foster parents' home
- Discuss the ways regular Singaporeans can support the Foster System
You'll see Singapore like you never have before. Also, SUBSCRIBE to our Substack to get bonus content right in your email - Click Here!
If you are interested in becoming a foster parent or would like to find out more about fostering, The Salvation Army’s Gracehaven Fostering will be conducting their next tea session on 18 Sep 2021, Saturday from 10 am to 12 pm. Please feel free to call 8833 8173 or email them at Eugene.Chan@smm.salvationarmy.org to sign up for the tea session.
