Agora members have chosen to support Children's Aid.  There are Children Aid Societies around the world that work to improve the lives of children.  Many offer foster care, adoption, health care and education.  All are committed to protecting children from harm and preventing child abuse and neglect. But these beneficial organizations are dependant on you for their existence.  Get involved.

Here are some tips on how to support Children Aid: 

• Get the word out aout your local Children's Aid organization!  Newspapers, radio and TV will give free space and air time for community announcements.  Remember they often need two weeks advance notice before printing or media so that it can be fit in their schedules.  Be sure to check with the media in your area well in advance for how to apply for such services.

• Organize a fundraiser, walk a thons are something the whole community can get involved in and usually draw a lot of media coverage.

• Many of the Children's Aid organizations would love your volunteer help in many different ways.  See if anything on this list appeals to you, then call your local agency and offer to help:

• Volunteer to drive
• Organize a toy drive
• Chaperone monitiored parental visits
• Clerical help
• Adopt a child
• Tutor a child
• Become a foster parent
• Be a special friend to a child

The current featured Agora photo comes from Elysium Gate's member site Girl Scout Troop 1058.  In this photo, one girl is adopted, one girl is a foster child and one girl has a "special friend."  All three girls can involve themselves in "normal" activities, and grow up in helpful and nurturing atomospheres due to Children's Aid organizations.
