This week we were asked to establish contacts with early childhood professionals from other countries. I tried to e-mail several people unfortunately the e-mail came back to me as undeliverable. The two that did not come back were in Haiti and Armenia. It will be interesting to see if they respond to my e-mail. I am especially interested to hear from the person I contacted in Haiti. I would like to get information for how they are coping after the earthquake in 2010. I would like to know how they handled the trauma the children experienced. I also look forward to hearing from the contact in Armenia.
The website I went to is a new website to me. The National Black Child Development Institute is a website that I've never heard of. As a black teacher and parent it sparked my interest. I plan on sharing this website with the PTA leaders at my school and my co-workers. The website discusses the following topics: child welfare, early childhood education, health and nutrition, and literacy. I look forward to exploring this website further.
Thesha,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to contact Haiti, I am sure someone there will be able to provide you with some great information on how they handled the trauma of the earthquake!
Sounds like you have found a great resource in the website for The National Black Child Development Institute, I hope that it will be helpful to those you share it with!!

Hey
ReplyDeleteIt seems that everyone is awaiting LOL. It will be fun to see who if anyone made contact. I chose to take part 2 because of some fears and not knowing if they would contact me back. I am awaiting a response from the people I did reach out to from part two so we will see.
