Association of Childhood Education International
This organization is concerned
about optimal development for both children and professionals worldwide. Its Global Action Centre sensitizes the
public of issues which impede children ability to not only participate in education
but also to survive. The organization
acts as an advocate for social change by providing members/viewers with global
action topics. By so doing it helps to
keep persons current on the issues affecting the world and the need to lend
support. The goals are all aimed at
improving children’s chances in life. I
did not see any job being advertised but I can see myself working as an
advocate for change with this organizations and institutions in my country.
United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
This organization utilizes dialogue
based on respect as a means of achieving its global vision for sustainable
development. This is to be achieved
through education, the eradication of poverty, developing healthy communication
as well as making information accessible.
This will help to foster the mission of the organization which is to
contribute to peace as well as intercultural discourse. I selected this organization because it realizes
that in order to reach people all over the world there is need to embrace
various cultures and that is a very significant measure that will facilitate world
peace and pave the way for dialogue as well as the wide range of publications
that can be obtained free of charge. The
topics are very current and can provide valuable insight on issues that are
being discussed in the public’s domain. I have not seen an job offers but I
would be desirous of a specialist position in education as it relates to young
children’s development.
Save the Children
This organization is the leading
independent organization for assisting needy children. The programs extend to over 120
countries. They are concerned about
carving a path for children in order to ensure improving opportunities for
children in the areas of education and economic opportunities. Many children in improvised
counties/communities are not exposed to quality education. Due to their vigorous efforts they were able
to reach 11 million children in 39
countries providing them with early childhood education, opportunities to become
literate as well as to attain wellness through health and nutrition. I chose this organization because enhancing
the life chances of children across the globe is at the heart of what they do.
I was unable to locate any job opportunities but I saw volunteer positions such
as advocate, educator or becoming a fundraiser for the organization.

Evelyn,
ReplyDeleteYou chose such interesting and dedicated international organizations that focus on helping children substain development through education. The UNESCO organization caught my attention because it talked about the eradication of poverty which a topic that my capstone focus on. Thanks for the information!
Evlyn,
ReplyDeleteThe Association of Childhood Education International also have current initiatives and programs for the well being of children. For instance; one of the programs that really appeals to me is "The Love, Me, Teach Me" campaign. This program promotes the needs and rights of children everywhere (ACEI, 2011). Do you know if they have any affiliation with the Caribbean? It is an organization I would like to be a part of also to get current information about issues affecting our children in the Caribbean. I would look into membership options and if not affordable maybe I will sign up to receive e-mails as another option.
Thanks for posting!
