FOSTERING HOPE: The annual luncheon at Sen. Mary Landrieu’s home has become a highlight of the summer for the Foster Youth interns working on Capitol Hill. The intimate gathering featured advice from their host and colleagues, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, followed by moving testimony by 2013 Foster Youth intern Alain Datcher about his experience working on the Hill. “Foster care can, in many ways, be a cesspool of hopelessness. And yet we understand there is no recession on goodwill, there is no furlough on investing in the future,â€? said Datcher, 22, who interned in Sen. Tim Kaine’s oďŹƒce. “You cannot put a price on this opportunity.â€?
