This past year and a half has been both challenging for me and rewarding both in my personal life and professional life. However, I kept my goals in sight and kept working to make my dreams of receiving my Master's come true. I sat in the hospital after a C-section doing homework, so I think I stayed dedicated :)
I have learned so much over this time. I learned that it is so important to realize our own bias and continuing working to overcome them, to treat each and every person as an individual and with respect, and that we are all human and we are not perfect. We all need help some times, so don't forget to talk with fellow colleagues and others to help you when needed because in the end we are all out to help the children and families.
My long term goal is to teach preschool or kindergarten and bring what I have learned here at Walden into the classrooms.
I want to truly thank each and everyone of my colleagues and my professors because each and everyone of your comments and directions has taught me so much and taught me to look towards other things for answers and guidance.I don't think I would have made it through this if it wasn't for the support and encouragement that I received. I want to wish each and everyone of you luck in your future and I hope that you all reach you goals. Each and everyone of you have the drive and passion to make it happen and I know you will. Best wishes!!

Week 6: Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally
Save the Children
Save the Children is an independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the US and around the world. They help children and families help themselves. They work with other organizations, governments,non-profits and variety of local partners while maintaining our own independence without political agenda or religious orientation.
You can sponsor a child, donate to their organization, become a fundraiser, read their eNewsletter, and they have videos for people to watch to see what their work and commitment is all about.
There is also internships and volunteer work available. The only job opening I seen was an Emergency Responder and that is not something that I am interested in. However, I do like the idea of sponsoring a child. It takes special people to do this and I am grateful that they are people out there who has the heart to give to others.

International Child Care
International Child Care is a Christian health development organization. There vision is health and wholeness for children and families in empowered communities.
Canada, Haiti, and Dominican Republic mission is to respond to Jesus Christ through caring service by sharing and promoting health and wholeness to those in need.
USA mission is to respond to a loving God by promoting health and well-being for the children and families of Haiti and the Dominican Republic through caring service and the education of others.
3 Goals: prevent illness, promote health, and restore health
They are involved in a variety of programs such as: In-Kind Gifts, Rehabilitation for disabled children, Integrated Community Health, Healthy Births, and HIV/AIDS just to name a few. There is also blogs, news, and newsletters available.
The videos provided really touches your heart and really shows what they are working for.
I found no job listings, however for an organization such as this one would really have to have faith, passion, commitment, be caring, and open minded to what situations you may come up on.

Working Group on Early Childhood Development
This organization recognizes the importance of early years for development of a child and acknowledges ECD as an integral part of basic education. The organization was created in 1997 with UNICEF as the lead agency. There goal is to encourage and support national governments in Africa that commit to and invest in ECD.
There are Newsletters, Publications, Programs and Activities that keeps people update on their work and progress.
There were no job listings, but this is an important topic as early development is very important to the development of a child. I believe one would have to able to conduct research, advocate, have good writing and communication skills and be devoted to their work.
