I chose these sites to enable me understand better how to take care of children and their families. The sites are Global Fund for Children (GFC) http://www.globalfundforchildren.org/ (Newsletter: http://www.globalfundforchildren.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&Itemid=340), National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) http://nbcdi.org/ (Newsletter: http://nbcdi.org/support/sign-up-for-nbcdi-newsletters/) and the National Head Start Association http://www.nhsa.org/ (Newsletter: http://www.nhsa.org/news_and_advocacy/advocacy/legislative_eupdate ).
The vision of the Global Fund for Children(GFC) is to place emphasis on learning and affirming diversity that enriches the globalized world. They believe in the potential of every child in a healthy and positive light. The vision of the National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) is to improve and protect the quality of life for children of color and their families by giving every child a chance. With early childhood education as the focus, child welfare, elementary and secondary education, and health to better the lives of children and their families are also given consideration. Finally, the National Head Start Association (NHSA) has a vision to voice out their opinion about every vulnerable child in Head Start and support the whole child, the family and the community as well as ensure that all vulnerable children and their families have what they need to succeed.
Two of the sites emphasized on helping children from diverse backgrounds without regard to their demographies.
I really enjoyed the sites you posted! i fond them very enlightening! I am always keeping a look out for new and insightful resources to help me understand children better. We need all the resources we can get on helping children from diverse backgrounds. Im gonna join the National Head Start Association! Thanks!
