Best Foster Parent In The U.S.:
The Hannah Eimers Award
The Best Foster Parent in the United States Award
May is National Foster Care Month and is a time when foster parents are recognized and honored, and Transfiguring Adoption wants to do just that through our annual Best Foster Parent in the United States Award.
ABOUT THE AWARD
Hannah Eimers was a young lady who was passionate about orphans and foster children. Her passion was seen through her actions with her own adoptive siblings and her loving advocacy toward children who needed a home. Hannah was tragically killed at the early age of 17 in an automobile accident. Though her life has ended, her passion for helping children from traumatized backgrounds still inspires us and is the reason we will yearly award one parent as The Best Foster Parent in the U.S.

Reading to Animals
|
SAFF's 21 Tutors are now booked solid for our academic tutoring and vocational instructional program. When we hire additional tutors we will announce it. The youths on the waiting lists will continue to be our priority. |
BACKGROUND
SAFF's Executive Director, Joseph Galata and SAFF's Director of Educational VIP Curriculum, Jill Wells have been meeting with the Nevada Humane Society.
We are interested in creating a 30 - 45 minute, 1 time a week READING TO DOGS AND CATS program at the Humane Society. We will especially focus on reading to the little cats and kittens - can't hold them or feed them - but we can read to them!
We haven't set a weekly date or time yet. Either after school afternoons or Saturdays or Sundays.
A SAFF team member would be with the youths ages 11 to 18 as well as the shelter staff. Each youth would choose a favorite book to read to a dog and cat at the pet shelter.
This activity will help kids/teens improve their reading skills, develop loving appreciation for books, and gentle caring & appreciation for pets.
Foster, adoptive, birth parents join us! A fantastic family activity! If you are interested in having your foster/adoptive/birth child participate, send Joseph an email at [email protected].
This promises to be very, very, very entertaining, educational, and exciting.
