[Bryn-gwlad] Interfaith Care alliance

[Brett Chandler-Finch]

I work with Interfaith Care Alliance (Now the Care Communities)  http://www.interfaithcarealliance.org as a volunteer.  They are a service organization that partners up individuals who have aids or cancer with a team of individuals to aid with small things around their house and life.  Household chores, shopping , transportation to visits etc, as well as simple socialization. 

ICA is always looking for new groups to sponser a care team.  What that means is individuals from a specific group will work together as a team with an individual care partner  The requirements are only 4 hours a month  for any individual  volunteer, though ICA does request a 1 year commitment 

Would any of you be interested in forming a care team.  I spoke to Roger Temme at ICA  about the possibility.  he can come out and speak to the barony at a PIP or something to see if anyone is interested and either schedule a specific training day at the ICA offices, or can make arrangements to meet us somewhere else if we so wish.  

If there is enough interest I will contact Roger and begin the process to have those individuals who wish to help out get together.  Just email me  offlist if you are interested.  


Sincerely, -Brett Chandler-Finch
 
Take my hand, my child. 
I will show you the morning sun. 
I will teach you all that I know.
You can share with me the secrets of the heart. 
It may not be a fair exchange, 
But it is all I have to offer.
