- <p>SFAC were in Addis Ababa in November at the invitation of Compassion International to take a weeks training of 30 Compassion representatives from 7 African countries, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Rwanada, Tanzania & Burkina Faso were represented. Mick and Walter were responsible for teaching a range of issue surrounding the concept of foster care so that the represenatives gained a good grasp of the concept and many associated issues. The highlight of the week was the subject - Men in foster care. Country groups got together to explain how men in their country are traditionally portrayed. It was fun and enlightening!</p>

- <p>SFAC returned to Africa visiting Uganda again and then moved on to Ethiopia. The focus of the work was to do a base line audit for Retrak - www.retrak.org a social work organisation working with street children in both countries. Their core tasks are rehabilitation with family or communities or foster care. Here is a photograph of a Retrak foster carer in Kampala Uganda – a single mum who fosters 3 teenage boys. Yes, foster care is happening in Africa!</p>
