Many years ago I felt the need to give back to my fellow humans. I decided to volunteer and give hospitality to kids in need. I remember as if it were yesterday when they called me to accommodate two little kids for two months. The truth is that it seemed a little inconvenient for me at that time to leave my freedom back and take responsibility for two and a half children. Finally, I said to myself, I’m going to do it two months. The two months became four and then the four months became three years. Three whole years !!!!! I was a foster parent! A word that hides inside a world full of emotions. Lectures that make a life full of love, affection, selflessness, self-denial, trust, security and care. I have so much to write about this experience … Life Experience ….. I never thought that two little foreign children could give me so much … Why they gave it to me .. They gave me power of affection … They held my hand, they hugged me and made me feel like I was reborn every day … They let me love and feel the need to protect them. There were moments of weakness and fatigue. What can I write now? There are feelings that are not imprinted with ink. How can a little ink show you their scared eyeballs, nightmares in the evenings, the need to shout a strange “mummy.” The need to hear the word I love you, the security of the hug. It’s not easy to be a foster parent “they say.” The truth is that it is not even difficult. It does not need much … Foster Care means giving your love, your embrace … Foster Care means accepting … Accepting religion, accepting homogeneity, accepting diversity …

Foster Care in short means LIFELONG LEARNING !!!!!!
