Since I have
not yet heard a response from my international contacts, I have been spending
time studying the Global Children’s Initiative’s website. The Global Children’s
Initiative was launched by Harvard University’s Center on the Developing
Children. Through this website I have learned:
- 1. This initiative helps support child mental health which they view as a highly under addressed issue. Projects have been launched to focus on this issue in China, Rwanda and in three Caribbean nations.
- 2. The Global Children’s Initiative is exploring child well-being in a range of natural and man-made disasters. This focuses is immediate circumstances and also long term adaptations.
- 3. The Global Children’s Initiative is focusing on providing leadership training for teachers, policymakers and researchers around the world.
Harvard’s
Global Children’s Initiative is so much more than I initially thought. Their mission
to support young children around the world is benefiting thousands of people. I
am so glad to learn that such initiatives exist.
Hey Laura,
ReplyDeleteI had a very hard time as well contacting my international contacts, but I decided to call. Harvard's Global for children seems pretty interesting, good luck!
Laura - As I reviewed the same site I can appreciate your scaled back version which is informative as well. The focus of a global initiative continues to give me hope for the world's children.
ReplyDeleteI am sad that I haven't heard from my international connection after I attempted to make a connection with 5 different professional. It would have been a great experience to connect with someone from a different country about my passion.
