The international
website I selected is The Global Fund for Children http://globalfundforchildren.org. This organization has been helping children
worldwide since 1997. Millions of
children around the world are born into a blatant reality not knowing whether
or not they will be working in markets, mines or the freedom to go to school.
Whether they will be trafficked into slavery or be free, will they be child
soldiers, or students? These are the shocking choices no child should have to
face. The Global Fund for Children
strives to transform the lives of children on the edges of society- trafficked
children, refugees, child laborers and help them reclaim their rights and
pursue their dreams. The Global Fund for
Children goal is to do all they can to allow kids to be kids in spite of what
their circumstances may be.
Current Issues
Currently in Nigerian 250 girls are being
held against their will by a group of terrorists who apparently oppose
western-style education.
Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteThe Global Fund for Children is a great organization to support especially with the recent events that has all of the world at shock--to know that their are people in this world that does not value the life of a child. Organizations such as these need all of the support and funds that they can get because they help so many children all over the globe. I found some interesting information about other issues around the world on the National Institute for Early Education website that you may be interested in as well. The website address is http://nieer.org.

Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI did not know what The Global Fund for Children organization was about, it sounded as thought it was about money and not about the many things they do for children. I knew that in some countries, children did not get an option of going to school, some would help out their families by going to work to help provide for their families. Thanks for sharing this website, I am quite interested in the current issues such as the one you listed as a currently news event.

Great Website, and I will continue to explore this website more. I think its unfair that children doesn't have the opportunity/choice to go to school. I understand that making money is important but what if the children decides to relocate possibly come to US, where is the education to get a job? Great post.
ReplyDeleteIt is very helpful to have organization like this one that have been around for a while and is there to really help people. Children sometimes need the motivation that they can do or be anything that their heart desires.
ReplyDeleteSandra, what made you choose the Global Fund For Children? How does the Global Fund for Children transform the lives of these children and how do they allow kids to be kids with all these things going on with them.
