Greetings!
For our first blogging journey we were to reach out to organizations that serve in early childhood fields outside of the US. My first contact via email was to UNICEF of Mozambique. I was especially pleased to see this organization reaches out to girls and young women who have suffered brutal crimes of rape in the region there. (sigh) Hurts my heart! I would hope that these communities realize the importance preserving the children and women, as this action preserves the strength of the family. My next contact was via email as well was with Naeyc Global Alliance. My interest with this alliance is there are are various departments. My interest is in the mathematics and science for children. |

for our second assignment we were to make contact with local agencies that field early childhood services and advocacy. My contacts were with the Black Child Development Institute. I was interested in this organization as a resource to further activities of positive actions with African American youth locally.

And the Children's defense fund, because of my hero , Marion Wright Elderman's activity and proactive stance for community involvement with our children and youth. There is a conference at a nearby city here in Ohio in July that I plan to attend to become really involved with this organization

Hello Sheila,
ReplyDeleteI just joined your blog site and love it very much, it is so positive to me and motivating. I really enjoyed reading your post and the choices for international contacts.
I also chose National Black Child Development Institute. I did not know an Institute of this type existed until now. I really look forward to reading your blog post in the future to see what has transpired along the way!

Shelia, I am also an advocate of providing resources or prevention measures for woman when it comes to any type of abuse. It is sad that there is still so much violence in the world that are directed towards woman and children.
ReplyDeleteI too am still waiting for a response from one of the teachers I reached out to. It is going to be a great opportunity to learn firsthand what is going on around the world in education.
