Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 3

I researched the UNESCO’s “Early Childhood Care and Education” webpage and it was a very interesting to find out more about the organization. UNESCO has 195 Members and eight Associate Members. It is governed by the General Conference and the Executive Board. The Secretariat, headed by the Director-General, implements the decisions of these two bodies. The General Conference establishes the Organization's goals and priorities every two years and sets the budget. The Executive Board meets twice a year to follow programme implementation. UNESCO has its headquarters in Paris. It is housed in an outstanding, Modernist building inaugurated in 1958 and recently renovated. The Organization also has more than 50 field offices around the world.

I kept the link for those who want to know more information about them. Instead of searching for it on the website, I am trying to make this as convenient as possible. I heard of this organization before but I did not know about it in depth. There are so many international organization dedicated to the betterment of early childhood. That is good to know because children are everywhere. Although there is still room for major improvement, it is good to know that some organizations are making it a priority to make a difference for our children.
