I spent a lot of time this week looking at different websites and learning about different organizations. I finally decided to contact partners' from the Global Alliance in Spain and South Africa. I am still waiting to here back from these contacts. I also have some friends who are in the military and live in other countries and may reach out to those people if I don't hear back.
I also spent some time looking at the different organizations to learn about each week. I decided on organization Save the Children. As I read about what they do and stand for their mission really stood out to me and I wanted to learn more about them. They have a newsletters and free email updates which I will subscribe to.
I look forward learning about early childhood outside of the United States throughout the course of this class.
Dear Amber,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post on Professional contacts. I will join your blog and my colleagues blogs as well. I especially liked that you choose "Save the Children" it is a great organization. I also liked that you chose Spain and South Africa. Please view my blog because I chose Africa as well, but decided on Israel because of my Jewish background. Please enjoy your journey~love your blog!
I am familiar with some of the organizations from my other classes. Struggling through the new Walden set up has become a burden for me so what I am doing now is going though each of my Group 2 blog link post and "Joining their sites", please be patient with me as we both tread this journey. nancy
Hi Amber... Many of us are finding it a challenge to reach-out to individuals outside of the United States. I actually tried to contact specific early childhood coalitions, but I have not received an answer. I'm totally convinced that my mail is going to SPAM, because the one response that I did receive was in my SPAM folder. I'm not giving up yet...
ReplyDeleteI have heard some things about Save the Children, but I don't know specifics. I'm am looking forward to learning more. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Amber,
ReplyDeleteI want to know more about Save the Children. I will check out your blog often to learn new things about it. Thank you for sharing and I wish you luck in contacting the professionals outside of the States.

Amber,
ReplyDeleteSave the children is a great organization indeed. It is one of the oldest organizations as well. Growing up, I must have heard that name a thousand times. I look forward to reading your blog and finding out about the organization’s latest projects around the world.
Thanks, Amber for that great ideal. I too have friends in other parts of the world that may be able to help me contact teacher from the schools their children attend. I chose Africa too and I hope I will be able to contact an Educator there. I would love to learn more than what I see of the television about the schools and children living both in and out of poverty areas.
ReplyDeleteHi Amber! I have not heard anything back from my professional contacts either. I am anxious to learn more about early childhood from around the world. I chose Europe and South Africa.
