Partners In Foster Care

Walk Me Home...to the place I belong is presented by the National Foster Parent Association (NFPA) in  partnership with the Adoptive and Foster Parent Association of Georgia (AFPAG)   and the Cherokee County Foster and Adoptive Parent Association (CCFAPA).  Join America's Only Nationwide Walk for Foster Care.

Together NFPA, AFPAG and CCFAPA have formed a powerful team to support children who, through no fault of their own, have had to be placed outside their birth home. We provide a safe and loving environment that helps promote stability for these children, perhaps for the first time in their life. The foster parents in our organizations are not paid for the time and energy they put into fostering. They are parents and care givers by choice. Their work is done 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

AFPAG and CCFAPA help to provide scholarships, college accessories, and  high school prom attire for those in need. Why not join this partnership and help in our noble cause by participating in Walk Me Home and maybe even consider becoming a foster or adoptive parent yourself?  Let your legs do the talking. Join us on May 15th, 2010 at Heritage Park.

Go to http://www.walkmehome.org. This is a team participation event, grab your buddies … co-workers … neighbors … anyone … and form a team! Brochure!

Nanyana

 

Pronounced NAHN-yah-nah, she was born an Army brat in Landsthul, Germany to a jolly Tennessee country mountain boy and strong, beautiful Thai mother. Settling in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, her first band was a girl group trio, where eleven year old Nanyana first began composing songs. By the age of fifteen she taught herself to play guitar. At a young age, Nanyana displayed diverse musical interests.

Exotic as a Thai princess and as spirited as a gypsy, Nanyana’s voice is rich and soothing, yet powerful and energetic, the perfect compliment to her diverse catalog of music. Don’t miss the chance to see one of Atlanta’s best, Nanyana.

I'm an independent musician. Of course, I'm not the only independent musician out there, so please support all local musicians that you like by purchasing our music and coming to our shows. The most difficult thing about doing this all on my own is the struggle to get heard. We all know that there are millions of musicians out there like me doing the same exact thing. Come here me play on May 15th.
