AROUND THE WORLD IN ECE

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is a non-governmental organization I find worth sharing to the early childhood community. This organization not only supplies the protection and healthcare for children but demonstrates a powerful global outreach that expands to ALL children, even children in under developed countries like Nigeria where sanitized water is scarce for children or in Indonesia were poverty inhibits 48% of school enrollment.

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is based in 190 countries which I see as remarkable. Making sure that children all over have medical, food, and education where survival is unbearable the UNICEF declares a mission; to “advocate children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs, and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential.” This is what educators like you and I want to see happen! Work for children to see their potential!

Furthermore, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) helps fund health clinics, school districts, and other child related organizations worldwide to obtain their mission- their provisions of protecting children who need the help. This contributes to the rise of members. Internships, training programs, volunteer work, and professional positions are offered to audiences who have the same goal to help children in need –who want a piece of this pie.

Understanding that the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) works for under developed countries (and so many) I would like to travel myself to places like Nigeria or Indonesia to see what I can do personally and professionally to help this humanitarian act for children. Passion, communication, leadership, motivation, and teamwork is all it takes!
