I was unsuccessful trying to make a professional contact - I emailed about 9 people through a common ECE page on Facebook hoping for a response. I have yet to receive any messages...I am still hopeful!
The World Forum website was not working either, so I signed up for the Save the Children newsletter. My boyfriend and I decided to sponsor a child through the organization as well - we loved the fact that we can receive pictures and letters from the children. We are looking forward to learning about the little girl and would love to share with everyone.
I decided to follow two websites; National Head Start Association and National Association (NHSA) of Early Childhood Teacher Educators (NAECTE). Since I work for Head Start I wanted to keep up to date on the ever changing regulations/policies. I chose the other website because I noticed they had a communication network for teachers that I thought would be beneficial.
I'm excited to keep everyone up to date on the different aspects of Head Start and educators across the country through NAECTE.
Hi Chrissy,
ReplyDeleteI have been having the same issues but fortunately, I have a friend who lives in Ghana and is a world aide advocate for children rights whom I contacted for help. Keep trying, I know something will come through for you.

Sorry youre having a hard time. I first tried going through the suggested websites and I found it more helpful to go through people I know. Im not sure if you have a facebook page but some of your friends may know someone in another country that might be willing to be a part of this experience. Good Luck!!!
ReplyDeleteChrissy,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you guys signed up to support a child! Please keep us posted on your experience.
I also had trouble with this assignment and am doing the alternative option. I wish I knew people in other countries so that it would be a more personal experience talking with them, but I will continue to keep making that contact.
NAECTE is a good website. You will enjoy reading all the information on their site.
