A Powerful Voice in a Child's Life

Children who are victims of abuse or neglect can sometimes find themselves victimized a second time by the system: the courts and child welfare agencies. Marty Sink had been a foster parent for a few years and was frustrated with the lack of advocacy on behalf of her foster children. Then she read an article that mentioned a volunteer Guardian ad Litem organization called CASA. Marty ended up founding a chapter in New Hampshire. In the 15 years since, CASA-NH has represented nearly 4-thousand children through the efforts of specially-trained volunteers. Marty was recently chosen as the president of National CASA board.
