I used to think it was normal for children to live on the streets, but joining FOA opened my eyes to the harsh reality that this is a serious social problem demanding urgent attention. Now, I am confident that I can play a significant role in addressing and solving this issue
FOA has inspired me to speak and express the language of love everywhere I go. Especially to the street children and youth who are, most often than not, deemed unlovable. I believe love is the foundation of FOA's work and without it changes becomes difficult.
Since I joined FOA, I have significantly improved my ability to interact with others. I've learned to listen attentively and respond appropriately. Before, I wasn't very social, but the residents, staff, and other volunteers are so lively and friendly that they've helped me become more outgoing and comfortable talking to others
Exciting and insightful.
FOA gave me meaning in giving back to my community. I find purpose with every smile I contribute to and I love creating that safe community where the kids know that they are not judged.
To me, FOA has been a community of friends and a family. FOA gave me an opportunity to help and take care of children on the streets.
One of the things that make me happy is to help others, and FOA gave me that opportunity. I appreciate the time I have spent with children so far, we learn from each other; I also met inspiring people in FOA who help me in my personal growth. FOA forever.
Bringing a smile on a child's face gives me a deep satisfaction of which I cannot express in words and FOA has given my the opportunity to fulfill this dream and I'm really grateful.
