Garbage bags to foster kids
June 28, 2009 by Megan · Leave a Comment
Children in care (foster children or children in orphanages and group homes) do not always have a suitcase to keep their belongings together. Foster care is too frequently characterised by numerous moves. Without a suitcase, a bag or storage boxes, these moves mean that precious belongings and symbols of memory (trinkets, presents, photos, etc) become lost.
Next time you throw rubbish into your green plastic bag, think of how a child in care may feel carting their belongs from home to home in a green garbage bag. Do you want to foster kids or destroy them like garbage?
Give a little and heal a lot: Project Hotel Shampoo for kids in care. Good quality clean clothes and suitcases, bags, etc also gratefully received.
