A Note from Sue Baker
The Traveling Photo Exhibit, during
Child Abuse Awareness & Prevention month, is meant to remind us all
of the importance of caring for the children who will one day be our
future. The center of the traveling exhibit featured the work of
acclaimed photographer, Steve Marts
Every day nearly 9,000 children are reported abused and neglected in
this country, which is unacceptable! Many of these kids are placed
in the foster care system, which can be a confusing and emotionally
troubling time.
For over 14 years, the Chelan/Douglas Court Appointed Special
Advocate (CASA) volunteers have given countless hours to improving
the lives of one of our most precious resources, our children. By
speaking up for them in court proceedings and in the social service
system, we hope to remind everyone that these children must be our
first consideration! It is our hope that these photos will show
that all children deserve to feel safe and unconditionally loved!
If anyone would like to display the exhibit
at their work place or know of someone who might, please
call the office and ask for Sue.
