Passionate Connections

I am glad to introduce the e-mail exchange that I have had the opportunity to encounter with one of the professionals chosen from the Global Alliance website that Walden University has provided. Mrs. Bimbo Are is the Assistant Director of the AL QALAM KIDDIES SCHOOLS in Ibadan North, Oyo, Nigeria for six years now. Her passion lies with teaching young children how to read, particularly the girls. The children are first taught their primary language and then English. The foods they eat are culturally healthy for the young children. Yams are the best resources of food that the children in Nigeria like as well as different soups, like Egushi soup. Variety is at a limit. French fries is a delight for young children in Nigeria. I have also had the opportunity to gain a more personal relationship with a Nigerian man named Frank Oghenekenyoro from Delta State. We talk EVERYDAY! I am learning so much. He helps me to understand the ways of Nigerians. Intriguing! I have not had the opportunity to hear back from my second choice of professionals from the list that Walden University provided to connect with professionals world-wide. I will not give up hope on this contact. I will continue to e-mail Rev. Charles Arko-Nunoo in Ghana to learn his passion towards the field of Early Childhood Education and beyond; although I have reached out to Mr. Eric Atmore in South Africa at cecd@iafrica.com. It is a powerful feeling to reach out and encode knowledge needed to understand the mission and goals of other countries as they foster healthy development with their young children. I thrive to further understand how Africa and other parts of the world operate. I want to know their contributions towards the field and ways they help to close the gaps of malnutrition that is a consequence of poverty. I patiently wait for my new discoveries.

Nigeria's Partnerships: Guiding crutial developmental milestones

I chose to focus on the malnutrition issues that many organizations focus on helping to problem-solve. The country that I chose to explore further is Nigeria in Africa. The UNICEF partners with other country’s government to help close the gaps of malnutrition. They have partnered with Africa to help children of families that do not have the resources that they need to be healthy individuals. These partnerships are important to collaborate to value young children’s rights to a healthy life. The article that I chose to share is linked above. It tells about the partnerships that have been formed to provide a range of opportunities for young children in Nigeria. I have learned that there are many resources in place to help children that are lacking in different areas. It is a great feeling to know that policymakers, researchers and other professionals stay abreast of the ever so changing demographics and diverse society that is needed to know to help others to flourish in their communities.

Under the Umbrella of the Global Alliance of NAEYC

Part 1 I have had the opportunity to reach out to two professionals from the Global Alliance of NAEYC... Mrs. Bimbo Are @ arebimbo@yahoo.com in Nigeria AND Rev. Charles Arko-Nunoo @ 2kdotcom@ghana.com in Ghana. I am waiting on their response so I can further understand how they contribute to early childhood field in the world that they live in, different from my own. Part 2 Save the Children http://www.savethechildren.org/site/c.8rKLIXMGIpI4E/b.6146405/k.C7E9/About_Us.htm Save the Children is an organization that helps to create an everlasting change for children in need that live inside or outside of the United States. The staff at this facility helps children to understand belief systems and morals that they bring with them to further help children at risk. These important milestones can be taught to others through the children that attend this organization; helping others to foster morals of their own. Powerful.
