Part 1
I have tried to make contact with Spain through the OMEP Comite Nactiona Espanol
Word Association of Early Childhood Educators. The reason I chose Spain was to be able to share insight about their learning techniques and in comparison to what we use in America along with any issues or trends they are willing to share with me as we make contact. Although so far I have not received any contact. I also tried to contact Nairobi for information regarding the issues and trends in Africa, again not very successful at receiving any correspondence. I will try again this week to send a new email and hope to receive contact if no contact I will then go to the alternative method of the World Forum Radio Broadcast.
Part 2
I choose the National Head Start Association, www.nhsa.org website to explore. The reason I chose this website is due to the awesome issues in place in head start regarding funding and research. I have been an employee of head start for 21 years and it is the best organization that has ever been founded to support the education of children in poverty.
I agree that Head Start is a wonderful organization for children of poverty! I think the work and efforts they put forward are awesome. I'll look forward to reading about your exploration!
ReplyDeleteYou choose to great places to make contact with this week. They do a great deal of work for the people the serve. I look forward to reading and learning more about this programs as the weeks grow on.
ReplyDeleteI have experienced much of the same issues. If I do not make contact this week, I will be joining you in the alternative :0). I think you have selected an excellent organization.
ReplyDeleteGwen,
ReplyDeleteGood for you for being such a great advocate of children but also for Head Start - they are always on the right track when it comes to children, families AND communities! I look forward to learning with you about the areas you chose and the organization you chose as well!
I have also I had troubles getting in contact this week. I hope that someone gets back to me shortly, so I don't have to choose the alternative assignment. Head Start is a great program and hopefully they will continue to get funding.
