Foster Care and the Muslim Community Recap

Aug 10, 2018

Thank you Foster Link and Maple Star Services for an extremely beneficial and enlightening session on foster caregiving! It helped raise awareness about the importance of being involved in Foster Care giving as a community. Here’s what some of our attendees had to say after the session:

“It was a much needed workshop. Cleared a lot of misconceptions about foster parenting. Also, it highlighted on the very real issue of Muslim kids in Foster care. Hearing the testimony of a Muslim couple was very helpful and heartwarming.” – Anonymous

“This was an eye-opening workshop. It was heart-wrenching and it made me realize the great need of having Muslim families in the Foster Care system as caregivers. I’ve come out of it with a greater level of admiration and respect for foster parents.” – S.P.

Foster Care and the Muslim Community

Jul 25, 2018

The Prophet, صلى الله عليه وسلم, said, “The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together to illustrate. [Bukhari]

There is a huge parallel between raising an orphan and fostering a child. They are similar in ways that we do not often think about. How much importance do we place on the subject of fostering? Is there a need for foster parents in the Muslim community?

Join us for a workshop on Thursday, August 9, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, to learn more about foster caregiving,  and how to become a foster caregiver. Get all your questions answered by a panel of speakers including social workers from a fostering agency, and Muslims who are currently involved in foster care. RSVP here.

The Self Care Blueprint

Nov 6, 2017

Are you an ambitious Millennial? In this age of social media and technology there are endless possibilities. Financial freedom, entrepreneurship, global travel, weekend adventures and unique social experiences are at your fingertips. These days you can even take an Axe Throwing class!
However, something we aren’t taught in school are the Self–Care Essentials needed to live that spectacular life we all want.  Illness can come without warning and if you don’t adapt adequate self-care routines now, you may be unconsciously putting yourself on the edge of burnout, fatigue, mental illness or injury.
In this workshop you’ll learn a Self–Care Blueprint, specific to Millenials. We will touch upon stress, sleep, mood, energy, nutrition, productivity and self awareness. You will walk away confidently knowing what you need to do to live an authentic and great life.

Join us on Saturday, November 19th at 3pm, at Al Huda Institute, 5671 McAdam Road, Mississauga.
