"Giving time - sharing joy" - family sponsors and foster parents wanted

Information evening: on 19 May 2016, 7 pm at the Caritas Association, Further Straße 29a

An information evening for future family sponsors and foster parents will take place on Thursday, 19 May at 7 pm at the Caritas Association. All interested parties are cordially invited. You will be given basic information and can ask any questions you may have. Please register on 0172 4894639 or pflegeeltern(at)caritas-chemnitz.de

Adults of any age who would like to invest some time and attention in a child on a regular basis and thus relieve the burden on their family can become a family mentor. For example, you spend one afternoon a week with the child, picking them up from daycare, going to the playground together, telling stories, doing crafts or playing together. Valuable time that parents and children often miss out on.

However, some children miss out on much more: they experience neglect, various hardships, insecurity and fear. We are looking for loving foster parents who would like to provide a home for a child who is temporarily or permanently unable to live with their parents. Some unaccompanied foreign minors would also like to be taken in by foster parents. Both couples and individuals can become foster parents.
