This assignment started off with a lot of road
blocks. The two World Forum
web addresses both said not found. http://www.worldforumfoundation.org/wf/about.php NOT Found. http://www.worldforumfoundation.org/wf/radio.php
NOT Found.
WOW! As I
researched further, I found the following addresses to access. https://www.worldforumfoundation.org/about-us/world-forum-alliance/#issa
and http://www.worldforumfoundation.org/working-groups/nature/join-nacc/ . I found personal e-mail
addresses and have tried to contact a person in New Zealand, Haiti, and at the
World Forum Foundation organization.
As of this writing I have had no response
back to my e-mails but I will keep trying, because I think this will be the
more informative way that I would like to learn about other areas. There is the
possibility that I will have to use the alternative approach.
I went into The Global Alliance of NAEYC for early childhood
professionals worldwide:
http://www.naeyc.org/resources/partnership/globalalliance and found the web site of
http://www.naeyc.org/resources/partnership/globalalliance and found the web site of
International
Step by Step Association – Haiti http://www.issa.nl/network/haiti/haiti.html this
is one organization I would like to explore. I am very interested in early
childhood programming in areas hit by natural disaster along with children who
live in poverty like in Guatemala and how their lives are affected and progressing.
These are countries I have been researching in previous classes.
I think this will be a fun project but also a time
consuming one. I have also wished I would have former student’s home e-mails to
contact. Throughout my Graduate Certificate degree there have been students
from around the world who I have communicated with but as I look over their previous
blogs, they have not posted since finishing their degrees. They were from
Korea, Iran, India, and Jamaica. It would have been interesting to get their
perspectives.
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have kept the contact information from students in other courses, too. I learned so much about global issues the EC field from classmates sharing their stories and perspectives who lived outside the US. I hit some, as you called them, road blocks with this assignment, as well. I look forward to hearing if you end up making contact. It will be awesome if you do! Best of luck, Sarah
I will keep trying as well, I feel that we will be successful in establishing some contact in the future. And there are a plethera of information on that website.
ReplyDeleteHi Diana,
ReplyDeleteI did not receive responses from my contacts by the time I had to post my blog. However, one of my contact replied me email just 2 hours ago bye the time I am typing here. I sent another email to my another contact. Hope will get back from her. Keep trying or waiting.
