Save The Children Organization and Contibutions

What specific section(s) or information seemed particularly relevant to your current professional development? In reviewing the website Save the Children, I notice how the organization keeps their investments growing. They provide the adequate information to show the public that their passion truly lies in the lives of struggling families and children in need. They spread their passion by providing information on different social websites nation-wide. The specific section that the organization provides that is relevant to my current professional development is that they actually show that they care about these families and children in need. How We Use Our Funds 89% on Program Services - You can be assured that Save the Children spends dollars efficiently. Which ideas/statements/resources, either on the website or in an e-newsletter, did you find controversial or made you think about an issue in new ways? When asking for donations, in the world that we live in today, it is sometimes tricky on what organization you can trust. Many organizations use hardship events to get rich and do not help the issues at all. I was thinking about Haiti and the wrong doings of organizations that people were actually supporting. It is disheartening to have to wonder where your donations go, but as I give donations and have faith that the giving will continue to reach the right source. The statement from the Save the Children’s website that made me think is, “Our independently audited financial statements consistently show that nearly nine out of every ten dollars we spend goes to programs and services for children and families in desperate need.” This statement made me think of the many scams that some create to get rich as they leave these families behind. Inflation is one way some organizations and departments financially gain investments from people that actually care about these children and families. What information does the website or the e-newsletter contain that adds to your understanding of how economists, neurosciences, or politicians support the early childhood field? I can see how economics, neurosciences and politicians support the websites mission to help families and young children globally. Politicians have touched on the issues of poverty around the world, and put emphasis on their contribution towards the issues, but often use organizations ideas to gain office. Neuroscience study the issues and trends to further assist these families and their children in need. They have to continually research to stay abreast of the supply and demand of families and young children. Economists help to improve family’s economic hardships by also staying abreast by researching the changes in demographics and beyond. What other new insights about issues and trends in the early childhood field did you gain from exploring the website or e-newsletter? I gained new insights about the help that this website offers. It is moving to learn that they strive to assist families that live in poverty. They are focused on changing the lives of others. I gained new ideas on how I can contribute to families and young children globally. I feel at ease with this website when donating…let’s help to save the children.

  1. You made a great point about many organizations not using donations to help solve current issues. I think this is the main reason why many people who can afford to donate money do not. Great post!

  2. I agree with Tara's comment about how many organizations are not using donations to help solve current issues. It's so important that organizations use the money appropriately so it can help with current issues. I think it's great that Save the Children organization keeps using the donations for investments. This will truly help children and families who live in poverty. Great post!
