Steps I took to
contact people and first let me tell you
I almost gave up and went with
the alternative however the more I thought
about it the more I wanted to be able to
contact live people the more I keep pushing. I must have sent 25 emails some
people were reluctant to give me
information even after telling them what I was trying to do, I got a few people
emailed me back however the
letters were in other languages I could not understand or find people to
translate them for me or several people just did not respond. I then posted a
help plea on my Facebook and people were coming from everywhere advising
me to try this person or this until I finally
meet to wonderful ladies and I cannot
tell you how much I have already learned
from both of these ladies and there different school training and culture
differences.
The website I have joined
is www.unicefusa.org/ this
is The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) which works
in 190 countries to save and improve children's lives by providing health care,
immunizations, clean water, nutrition, education and emergency relief. This program fights for the survival and
development of the world’s most vulnerable children and protects their basic
human rights.
Sandi, Great post! I am excited to hear about what your two women contacts have to say about their education system and culture. I also joined the same website as you after I read what the organization stands for and does. I am excited to work with you again for another class!
ReplyDeleteSandi I am so happy for you. I giggled a little because I could imagine my excitement to get a letter from another country and the disappointment/ frustration only finding out that I cannot read it. I am really excited to be with you also in class.
ReplyDeleteSandi, I am happy that you chose to work on UNICEF. Their efforts are tremendous and wonderful. I also chose to research them. I feel we can gain so much information through them.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have your contacts already! I have sent out many emails and continue to send more each day, with no luck-I either hear back that they are already working with someone else or the email is undeliverable. I am excited for you and can’t wait to hear more from your contacts. UNICEF is a great organization to join; they help so many people around the world.
ReplyDeleteSandi this is very interest how you took the time to keep going until you understood what the people was trying to tell you. This give me a drive to keep going until I can get in contact with someone.
ReplyDeleteSandi, I admire your perseverance in trying to contact early childhood professionals!
ReplyDeleteThe UNICEF website is great! It is always hard to see what people in other parts of our world go through, but it is good that there are organizations like UNICEF to always be there and help.
