This event was an amazing opportunity for the newly named Project Pilina to get to know the community and share more about our available services, including a concentrated focus on finding homes for keiki in foster care in the midst of a global pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/B29134E8-07BB-476B-80AB-35E0F356E5A2_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7438\" width=\"599\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/B29134E8-07BB-476B-80AB-35E0F356E5A2_1_105_c.jpeg 1086w, https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/B29134E8-07BB-476B-80AB-35E0F356E5A2_1_105_c-600x399.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/pidf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/B29134E8-07BB-476B-80AB-35E0F356E5A2_1_105_c-768x511.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis event has brought a beautiful reminder of how life changing it is to be surrounded by and spend time with people who genuinely care about you.
