Becoming an Orr Shalom Parent

If you are looking to:
• Make a real difference to a child in need
• Teach your family the meaning of giving
• Experience a real sense of purpose in your life

Then becoming an Orr Shalom parent may be for you…

There are two types of Orr Shalom parenting:

• Foster Parents where you care for one or two children in your own home.
There are currently many children waiting for foster families and we are actively seeking new foster families.

Orr Shalom parents are special people. We are particularly looking for people who:

• Really love children and are able to open their homes and love someone else's child
• Are well organized and able to provide consistent physical and emotional care
• Are emotionally intelligent enough to care for a child who may be angry, confused and afraid
• Are happy to work as part of a team, with social workers, teachers and the child's biological parents
• Are able to say goodbye if the child is able to return to their biological parents

If you or someone you know may be interested in becoming Orr Shalom parents, please email iritsh@orr-shalom.co.il with your name and phone number and we will contact you.
