Home-Start Photo Contest
Let us express and share Home-Start friendship together by photo !
This photo contest is planned to express and share how friendly Home-Start family support is and how it creates positive changes amongst the families and volunteers in the world. As the hosting country of HS worldwide global conference 2017, we hope to raise the visibility of Home-Start all over Japan, Asia and the world with the collaboration of our HS friends in 22 countries.
Families supported by Home-Start often say, “I’m sure many more families must be needing the support that Home-Start provides. I truly hope that more people have a chance to know about Home-Start.” To reach more families and get more volunteers and donors involved, we need to take more actions.
We have prepared an application form on the website to welcome the photos from your country. Please see the guideline below.
The photos from the various countries will show parenting is not always easy but worthy of support for every child’s future. We are looking forward to seeing your applications.
