Foster Care for Peace | Britni Eisenmann | TEDxPurdueU

Social Worker and Child Advocate Britni Eisenmann has countless stories of times she has had to pick up foster children in the middle of the night at a rundown gas station or take the children away from a drug addicted mother. These stories are far too common, and Britni reminds us that these children deserve the same loving, caring upbringing that most of us had. Britni Eisenmann is a 2007 graduate of Purdue University, and a proud wife and mother of two. She has been in the social work field for about 8 years, and is currently directing a foster care program in the Fort Wayne area. Britni is an orphan care advocate, and an avid supporter of caregivers and foster parents worldwide. She is passionate about the non-profit sector, is motivated by her faith, and dreams of a world where healthy families open themselves up to care for at-risk children and others in crisis. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
