BBC Radio 4 - Hardeep Seeks Serenity, Episode 4

Hardeep meets Maria Mansari, a foster parent who finds serenity in a challenging role.

Foster parent Maria Mansari talks to Hardeep Singh Kohli about how she manages to let a bit of peace and serenity into her life.

The writer and broadcaster Hardeep Singh Kohli is seeking serenity each day this week. He'll be meeting five people, from very different backgrounds, to find out how they bring peace, or a moment of serenity, into their lives.

In today's programme, Hardeep meets Maria Mansari, a foster-parent in Bristol. With two grown-up boys she's currently engaged in the long-term foster care of a teenager. One of the most challenging of jobs, often dealing with disturbed children, she talks to Hardeep about how she manages to let a bit of peace and serenity into her life - much of it coming from the reward she receives from the changes she witnesses in the children. 


Producer: Richard Bannerman
A Ladbroke Production for BBC Radio 4.
