The organization I decided to learn more about is Save the Children (http://www.savethechildren.org). Save the Children is an organization that works both inside the United States and around the world to help save the lives of children when there is a disaster. They provide food, medical attention and education to help rebuild communities. Currently, they are serving over 120 nations. Save the Children is founded on 5 core values: accountability, ambition, collaboration, creativity and integrity. Their website provides a lot of opportunities for involvement including volunteer opportunities, sponsoring a child or simply signing up for their newsletter in order to be more informed.
I signed up for their newsletter, however, I haven't received one yet. I can't find it their newsletter is weekly or monthly. But I did find some information in their "spotlight" section which is honoring Mother's. :-) Please check out the website! It has a lot of great information.
Amber, thanks for sharing information on Save the Children. I mentioned to my husband that I heard of the organization with respect to help it offered to the children in New Orleans, and he reminded me that the organization was quite active in my area of Florida after the last hurricane. I checked the web page, and he was correct. Thanks for bringing this organization back in the spotlight for me; I look forward to hearing the information you gather through its newsletter.
ReplyDeleteAmber,
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! “Save the Children” is one of the most internationally recognized organizations. I clicked on their projects especially in the Middle East where I grew up and read about their great efforts in helping children in war torn countries such as the children of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Their statistics were an eye opener on the need for us to advocate for children everywhere.
Amber,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing some information on this organization. Children are always vulnerable to different kinds of disasters, and I'm glad there are organizations like this one that can help save the children. I would love to learn more about it by keeping an closed eye to your blog.
