Families for Children (FFC) is a private, non-profit, non-sectarian agency operating homes that care for hundreds of destitute children and women in India and Bangladesh. FFC was founded in 1971 by Sandra Simpson, of Montreal, Canada, when she became aware of the plight of children in Vietnam. There, she facilitated many adoptions of mixed race and handicapped kids to the USA and Canada, and helped raise funds and supplies for homes run by Rosemary Taylor in Saigon. Today, Sandra still supervises all the organization's activities, and runs the sponsorship program. Her work for children has received official recognition in recent years by the award of the Ontario Medal, and the Order of Canada. |
FFC News and Events
CHRISTMAS SALES Liz Jarvos held her amazing home sale of crafts on November 8, and had a second sale later in November in Victoria. Audrey Timmerman's annual Dinnerless Dinner was held in the fall, and was the biggest success yet. Bravo to Audrey, and thanks to all her friends and family who donated. Please note that FFC always needs handmade craft items for sale at all our fundraising events. You can contact Sandra at sandraffc@videotron.ca or write to her at 111 Roseheath Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4C 3P6 to discuss any crafts you might be able to donate. Also, if anyone thinks they might be able to help with fundraising by holding a craft sale, they should also get in touch with Sandra. |
The five ladies shown at right all bought Medleri Silk jackets, made at the FFC Co-op in India, from the Sarah Pennington stall at the Galiano market. Calling themselves the Jack-ettes, they then launched into an impromptu version of the song and dance routine Stop In The Name Of Love. ![]() |
