"I think that by working at Foley, a person gains a true sense of responsibility, not only of a job, but of having 5 to 8 kids living under your supervision. You learn to be patient, to be flexible, to relate to both children and adults - all with different ways of thinking, a great sense of respect - towards yourself, others, and nature, you learn to be part of a community, you realize the importance of being a role model - making a difference, and of doing things right from the very first try. You discover hidden talents, and the two most important things being making new friends and having tons of fun along with building unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime."
