Five staff from Hui Ho\u2018omalu were able to attend the 2014 National Foster Parent Association (NFPA)\/Florida State Foster Adaptive Parent Association (FSFAPA) National Education Conference in Orlando Florida. Irene Clements (NFPA President) wrote, \u201cWe have come together to learn, network, socialize, renew and refresh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the staff that attended the conference had very good things to say about it. Sandy Salave\u2019a stated, \u201cIt was very informational. Enjoyed it and I would go again next year. It was interesting to see how other states operate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arlina Wong said, \u201cThe collective passion for kids that was brought together in that space was enlightening. It was an honor to be with all those amazing people!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alan Castillo expressed, \u201c”I was so grateful to have been given the opportunity to attend the conference. Besides being able to meet some amazing people, I also was able to attend and participate in workshops that has helped to develop my professional and personal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conference has allowed me an opportunity to gain a deeper perspective on foster care that will translate in my presentations and recruitment efforts. I sincerely hope to develop and foster relationships in the community that will result in a deeper awareness of resource care giving and the ways in which an individual can become involved to help support our community and youth in care.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
