A Farewell to All!!!

I can't believe that I have finally finished this journey to receiving my master's I have learned so much with each and every course that I have taken. I have learned the importance of setting goals and actually reaching them. I have learned that with a little hard work and determination no dream is to big. The third thing that I have learned is that our children depend on us to help guide their way and make a difference for their future. I want to thank Dr. Teri for not giving up on me through all the mistakes that I have made through this course and helping me realize the importance of reaching out to my community. I hope with this accomplishment that new doors within the education system will open you for me so I can continue to grow as an educator. I want to wish each and everyone one of you a bright and successful future!!

The first organization that I feel serves a great purpose is UNICEF. This organization works with poverty stricken children who are in need of basic survival resources such as food, clothing, shelter, protection, education, and medical needs. This organization works with the government and other financial institutions to help meet the needs of these children and provide them with a brighter outlook on life. I would love to work for such a wonderful organization that gives back in so many ways. The position that was appealing to me was the fundraising specialist that is based out of Switzerland. Unfortunately the link was not working and I was unable to get any further details.

The second organization that I chose was Save the Children. This organization helps to meet the basic needs of children that have been affected by a natural disaster. They will work on a long time recovery basis to make sure that children are receiving food, clothing, shelter, and an education. They work with other organizations, governments, non-profits and a variety of local partners to make this organization a success. This organization would also be an awesome place to work for. I did not find an actual employment link for this website, but it would be a great opportunity to volunteer to be an advocate for this organization and help raise awareness.

The third organization that serves a great cause is International Step by Step Association. This group promotes equal access to quality education and care for all children, especially in the early years of their lives. This organization focuses on providing young children with a high quality education regardless of their skin color, financial status, or religion. They want to make sure that children start kindergarten with the skills that they need to perform successfully. I would love to see an organization like this in my area because a lot of these children haven't had any exposure to education before they enter kindergarten and they are unable to perform. I did not see any job opportunities on this site only ways to become a member of the ISSA.
