Penina Sahar is the director of the pre-foster care program at the 'Or Shalom' organization, which works closely with the Ministry of Welfare in Israel to find foster families for children removed from their biological homes. She has been actively involved in efforts to match children in need, like Dan, with suitable families, understanding the complex considerations that come into play in these sensitive situations. Sahar emphasizes the importance of family settings for young children and has been vocal about the increasing challenges of finding foster homes, particularly in light of the ongoing war, which has strained many families and their ability to take on additional responsibilities.
