I started my process of getting in contact with an early childhood professional by trying to access the World Forum Foundation Website (http://www.worldforumfoundation.org/wf/about.php) and I was successful but I was not able to pull up the radio. So I decided to research the World Foundation Website and the Save the Children (http://www.savethechildren.org/site/c.8rKLIXMGIpI4E/b.6115947/k.8D6E/Official_Site.htm) website since I was not able to pull up the radio (I hope this is ok to do).
I just started a new job so I'm adjusting to my new schedule. But since I work throughout the day, by the time I get a break, it is not only after business hours for me but it was also be after business hours elsewhere. So I sent an email to twebster@savechildren.org since she was under the "contact us" tab on the website.and I sent an email to info@WorldForumFoundation.com to try to get in contact with a childhood professional. I am waiting on a reply from both.
I decided to look more into the "Save the Children" website since it was on the list and I like their strategy:
"Grounded in our shared vision of a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation, Save the Children’s new mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. Our new global vision, mission, values and strategy are very much a part of Save the Children’s longstanding principles and are consistent with our strategic priorities."
I believe that their strategy expresses specific ways in which the organization supports the early childhood community and the resources it offers. I can see myself working with them somehow in the near future...I subscribed to the electronic news letters and email updates. This should be a good start...
Thanks Brandee for the hint of help. I will also send an email to twebster. I was able to access the radio and listened to several of the interviews. It made the situations of the childrenthey serve more real to me and know that we are dealing with real people on the frontlines of caring for these children. We are not just dealing with a system, but real people.
ReplyDeleteBrandee, I enjoyed reading your post. It was very interesting and lookimg more into the Save the Children program is a great idea. I can't wait to hear more from your findings and discoverings later when we share our information. But I too, emailed my two chosen contacts and I still haven't had a response. I hope all goes well with your project and I look to hear your findings soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Brandee, it seems as though we are all struggling with establishing contacts but I think in the end, it will be worth the wait. Thanks for sharing your ideas about Save the Children as well. This organization has been around for so many years and has done great things. I plan to look into it as well.
