“Global Fund for Children partners with community-based
organizations around the world to help children and youth reach their full
potential and advance their rights.” The podcast shares information about the latest
news such as child trafficking and how they are helping. They have a 20-year
impact on social change. They also offer newsletters, a blog, and a variety of
books that teach children about other children. I like to learn about other cultures
to better understand people. Diversity is needed because we can all learn from
one another.
"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."
- Frederick Douglass
The NBCDI is one the only few organizations who solely
focus on the well-being of black children. This organization is important to me
because I once was a black child and one day, I hope to have children and I like
knowing that there are other people who will take interest in their well-being.
Also, I work with low income families who are majority African American, and I
need resources that can help me help them.
The NBCDI isn’t just
for the well-being of children but also helps educators to be prepared on how
to help these young children. Programs
and activities that are offered are the annual conference, the T.E.A.C.H. Early
Childhood DC program which helps teachers attend college as well as literacy activities
just to name a few.

ReplyDeleteGlobal fund for Children sounds like a great organization. It is critical to teach young children about others and how others are different than you. That is a great lesson to teach children because everyone comes from different backgrounds, cultures, languages etc. So, when children are taught about diversity and acceptance at a young age and it have a positive impact as they get older.
