The host family as a school subject
"In a foster family, the child learns that there are adults who never do harm' Olvido Macias: "To be a host family should not be neither a millionaire, nor superhero""We have accepted a child with paralysis after a fall as a baby from a fifth"

The foster family by order in the text books of our children. Can you imagine that were true? However, unfortunately, it is still a pending subject. The new course has arrived. In the memory of the students, the images of a vacation great and in family. However, there are children that are incorporated into the classroom, a year more, without being able to have summer adventures with a few parents who care for them, to hug them and hold them when you arrive or leave class. Are small living wards and whose situation could change in placement. However, this type of family is still the great unknown in our country.

In Spain, pointing from ASEAF, the State Association of Foster Families of Spain, " the diversity parental is known by all the school . You know, by their books, that there are families, heterosexual, homosexual, in fact, adoptive or single parent, but are unaware of the existence of the host families, the most important and necessary for the 17.500 children living in residential institutions, protected by the Administration and which could form part of a home".

they Are minor, they continue from this entity, "that might belong to a family, to your family and they need care and hugs from parents who accompany them towards a new stage of your life. Are children who without you are invisible, nobody sees them".

Congress on Family foster Care

therefore, from ASEAF make an appeal to the Government, the educational community and to society in general, to give visibility to these little ones because the best way to grow is in a family.

To this end, the organization held from 13 to 15 November, its fourth Congress on Family foster Care "The best interest of the child" , under the presidency of HRH Doña Letizia, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare.

Also with the same objective, to give visibility to the host, we will celebrate the 20 of November, the National Day of Pajamas , coinciding with the International Day of the Universal Rights of the Child. "We appeal to schools that want to be part of this pleasant call, in its third edition and whose central act took place, last year, in the CEIP Menendez y Pelayo of Madrid and counted with the presence of Pau Marí-Klose, High Commissioner for the fight against child poverty of the Government", they warn.

This call is addressed to students of preschool and 1st and 2nd of primary. That day, the children will attend class in their pajamas, as it happens in other countries, to remember the importance of growing up in a family and to give visibility to the children who grow up in shelters - nearly 18,000 in our country .
