 impact on your childhood or adolescence? Many teens and children in our family foster care program would name their foster parent. Many parents of the children in foster care with us would answer the same way. Graham Windham’s network of foster parents are an inspiring group of “ordinary” people who do the extraordinary – providing a stable, loving home in which children and teens can heal, holding young children through tantrums, coaching confused teens to find their way, helping unsure parents to learn to parent their children again, and working side by side with Graham Windham case planners through every adversity and every celebration.
Foster parents change lives—both the children’s and their own. They play a critical role in helping children who have been separated from their birth parents, because of abuse and neglect, heal. Foster parents are also critical partners in our efforts to reunify children with their parents or to find an alternate permanent family arrangement. Being a foster parent is definitely challenging – but the reward is seeing the difference your nurturing care makes for a child. Each year 4,000 youth enter foster care in New York City. Foster parents play a crucial role in their lives and can help ensure that these children thrive in the world. Be part of the solution – become a foster parent.
Orientation is the initial stage to obtain information regarding becoming a foster parent.
Who Does Graham Serve?
Children and youth of all ages are placed in foster care with Graham due to abuse and/or neglect.
Sometimes the parents of children placed into foster care are unable to reunify with their children. In these circumstances, children and teens need strong, loving, and above all permanent families to adopt them.

Abu Nasr al-Fath ibn Muhammad ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Khaqan ibn Abdallah al-Qaysi al-Ishbili (died 1134), usually simply known as al-Fath ibn Khaqan, was a well-known writer from al-Andalus. He is the author of "Qalaid al-Iqyan"("Necklace of Rubies") a biography of Andalusian poets who were his contemporaries with examples of their poems. His other best-known work is Mathmah al-Anfus wa Masrah at-Ta'annus fi-Mulah Ahl al-Andalus (مطمح الأنفس ومسرح التأنس في ملح أهل الأندلس) ("The Aspiration of the Souls and the Theater of Congeniality in the Anecdotes of the People of al-Andalus"). The works are written in rhymed prose full of metaphorical expressions and are an excellent source of information about the apogee of Andalusian letters.
The life of Ibn Khaqan is described in Al-Ṣafadī's al-wafi fi-l-wafiyat.
^ "al-Qaysi" refers to the Banu Qays tribe; "al-Ishbili" means "from Seville"

We should see an increase of international aid flows to Libya. Already in September, the IMF had promised technical assistance and funding to the Committee of Liberation. The United Nations, which had already released 1.5 billion dollars of Libyan assets held in the US, out of a total of 30 billion, will give back the rest, which means that new opportunities may arise for European and Italian companies in the reconstruction effort.
The price of oil may fall, albeit marginally. Libya is the 17th largest oil producer with a market share of just over 2%. Although it will take time to restore production levels to the pre-conflict levels, the new authorities will do anything to increase the supply, and market prices may react immediately downward.
The moderation of commodity prices will tend over time to be reflected in prices in the importing countries, slowing inflation further.
It ‘likely that this will encourage the Fed and the ECB to pursue more expansionary QE policies, in support of bank liquidity and government securities of EUZ problem countries.

A tight, 24-hour curfew on the territories imposed by Israel at the start of the conflict has put a damper on demonstrations of solidarity with Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
But as Palestinians huddle around radios for the latest news from the front, support for the man they say has given life to the cause of Palestinian independence has been hard to conceal.
Palestinians were dismayed following Iraq's failure to answer the first wave of allied air attacks earlier on Jan. 17. ``It felt like 1967'' when Israel decisively defeated Arab armies, says the Gazan, a leading Palestinian figure.
Twenty-four hours later despair turned to elation when air raid sirens sounded across Israel. After Iraqi missiles struck Tel Aviv and Haifa, spontaneous ``Saddam parties'' were held and Palestinians defiantly shouted Allahu akbar (God is great) from rooftops in villages and refugee camps.
Palestinian support for Saddam is rooted in deep frustration born of years of failure to cast off the Israeli occupation.
Hopes were excited, then dashed, when the three-year Palestinian uprising failed to weaken Israel's grip on the territories. Disappointment turned to anger when the United States failed to deliver Israel to the bargaining table after the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) played its trump card by recognizing Israel and renouncing terrorism.
Desperation increased when a wave of Soviet Jewish immigrants began pouring into Israel six months ago. With thousands expected to end up in the West Bank, Palestinians predict they will be crowded off the only Arab lands that remain.
Convinced that they had a champion with the military muscle to back up his threats against Israel, Palestinians turned their loyalties to Saddam.
``The man [Saddam] is putting our question on the table; this has not been the case for years,'' explains West Bank intellectual Mahdi Abdul-Hadi.
Even if Saddam loses or is killed, he will still be a rallying point for Palestinian aspirations, many Palestinians say.
Most outside observers say that support for Saddam, by appearing to confirm the worst fears of many Israelis, has set back the cause of Palestinian nationalism. The PLO has also alienated many Western governments jeopardizing prospects that they will push for a peace conference to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian dispute after the Gulf war. Unless Israel agrees to sit down at the bargaining table, no amount of pressure for a conference will bear fruit.
``To side wholeheartedly with Saddam... is irreconcilable with protestations of peace,'' editorializes
