Sharing Web Resources

Upon following the outside links that I have never had explored before, I have seen that there are a number of newsletters, blogs and articles that have been written by people who are strong advocate for change in the lives of young children. The links also leads to programs that have been planned wherein some are working collaboratively with organizations such as NAEYC.



As I thoroughly searched one area of the site I found developing news about what is taking place in the far east about children's living and access to a good education. It was very profound as well as alarming to have found out that the children are living in such deplorable environment that is exposed to so much violence.



The newsletter that I received spoke about introducing new legislation that will help to enhance early learning opportunities in developing countries as well as putting into place new strategies so as to prevent 57 million of the most vulnerable, marginalized children, including those in conflict zones, from missing out on school. Here is a synopsis of the newsletter that I would like to share with you all
Save the Children thanks Congress for introducing new legislation that would help boost early learning opportunities in developing countries and prevent 57 million of the most vulnerable, marginalized children, including those in conflict zones, from missing out on school.
The Education for All Act, H.R. 2780, introduced by Representatives Nita Lowey (D-NY) and Dave Reichert (R-WA), acknowledges that without basic, quality education we will lose yet another generation of children to poverty, war and disease, according to a statement by Congresswoman Lowey.
"Education offers children in some of the toughest parts of the world a chance at a brighter future. Yet millions of children living in poverty and conflict zones are robbed of the opportunity to learn and fulfill their potential," said Carolyn Miles, president and CEO for Save the Children. "Save the Children applauds Representatives Lowey and Reichert for being a vital voice for these often forgotten children and calling for an investment in their futures."
If passed, this legislation would help millions more children in developing countries realize their dreams of getting an education and create a positive ripple effect on families, communities and nations overall.



The newsletter that I viewed indeed contained information that enhance my understanding of equity and excellence in early care and education as it gave information that was linked closely to the resources that were presented to me about equity  in early care and education for young children. It also informed me that there are persons that are working assiduously towards implementing strategies and programs to help young children. 

I have gain this week that the same issues and trends topics that are being focused on in this course are some of the same things that this weebsite are lobbying about unbehalf of young children and their families from a global perspective. i have also seen that the information are all similar.

    It's really exciting to be able to make relevant connections between our course and current initiatives in politics and education!
