Continuing Research

As I continue to research the Zero to Three website , I have found out so much information. As a lot of you know that I am not a teacher, but a chef. So each resource that I discover is  like uncovering a gold mine. This resources are so informative. I like the fact that the website covers so much topics. Each section is broken down into subsections. The e news letter was very informative. I like the public policy section. It is very informative. I will continue to research the site. Zero to Three is for parents, educators , administrators or anyone wanting to find out about children zero to three.

UNICEF, acronym of United Nations Children’s Fund, formerly (1946–53) United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, special program of the United Nations (UN), devoted to aiding national efforts to improve the health, nutrition, education, and general welfare of children.In keeping with this strategy, UNICEF supports immunization programs for childhood diseases and programs to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS; it also provides funding for health services, educational facilities, and other welfare services. Since 1996 UNICEF programs have been guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), which affirms the right of all children to “the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the treatment of illness and rehabilitation of health.” UNICEF’s activities are financed by both government and private contributions(www.britanca.com/)

 Poverty is so common in today's society. When I was watching the various videos and podcast, my mind began to wonder. What we take for granted needs to be humbled. We have  three meals and snacks a day. Some children do not get that. I work in food industry. I see so much food waste.  Also at home with the leftovers;there is waste. We can be feeding a hungry child.Sometimes it makes me angry to see the waste but there is nothing I can do about it. We as humble citizens need to remind ourselves, there is someone in a worst situation than you.

organization of choice

The website i choose was Zero to Three.  I have submitted a request for a newsletter. ZERO TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization that provides parents, professionals and policymakers the knowledge and know-how to nurture early development.

Our mission is to ensure that all babies and toddlers have a strong start in life.  The current newsletter  is about adressing maternal depression in the home visits.
Helping depressed mothers in home visiting has emerged as a promising way to enhance outcomes and improve the lives of families served by these programs. This issue of Zero to Three presents a series of articles that provide thoughtful reviews of important topics involving maternal depression and home visiting, and highlights innovative approaches to prevention and treatment.

Establishing International Contacts

There were two steps I took to obtain contact with other professionals from around the world. The first step was to look through the list that was given of the NAYEC.I have contacted individuals in Cuba, Els alvador and Africa. I am waiting on responses. if i do not seek response from these individuals, i will consider option 2 for my blog assignment.

I am still researching the websites to see which one will be more valuable to me. Also  I am leaning towards Zero to one  to use as my source for a website choice.
