The Voices Leadership Team brought their hugs and pamphlets of information to the Forks again on May 28th, 2011. With a larger group this year, it was no surprise people were stand-offish at first. But once the hugging got started there was no stopping them!

FHD 2011 is dedicated to the memory of our sister in care, Jennifer Miles. We hope that the system and all adults who care about kids in care will listen to our voices, especially when we're calling for help.

To learn more about asking, listening, and believing youth in care, contact your local youth in care network in provinces across Canada. You can find a list of them at www.youthincare.ca.
