Become a trained befriender and bring foster children for outings, or play with and care for them while foster parents attend trainings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enrich<\/strong> \u2013 do you have skills that can enrich our foster children\u2019s lives? Children are very often eager to learn new things, and teaching them a new skill might uncover a hidden talent or spark a new interest. You can also use your skills, such as photography or balloon sculpting, for our roadshows or fostering events.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Act on it<\/strong> \u2013 we welcome corporates to take action and collaborate with us through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. If your organisation would like to donate, sponsor our fostering events, or even plan fun-filled and memorable events for our foster children, please contact us for discussion. If you are an individual who wishes to contribute as well, please also contact us.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reach Out<\/strong> \u2013 be a foster care advocate and help us to reach out and raise fostering awareness in the community. Invite us to speak at your workplace, or organisations and groups you are connected with. You can also organise sharing sessions at the comfort of your home and invite us to speak to your friends. If you are open to explore this, please contact us.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Talk<\/strong> \u2013 do you know of friends or relatives who would make fantastic foster parents? Help us to talk to them about the need for more foster families. Link us up with them, and we will help them to understand and explore fostering.
