This week I was unable to make contact with early childhood professionals outside of the US. But I have sent out some emails and hope to get a hit soon.
After exploring the World Forum Website, I was elated. Part of me understood how great the early childhood field was but somehow it never dawned on me how many wonderful leaders are already doing amazing things to support children all over the world. I loved the idea of going on the site and using ideas from professionals all over the world as resource. Exploring the site made me realize how much closer to my dream I am getting and a sense of joy fell on me.
I truly do appreciate each and every individual who continue to work on supporting children regardless of color, ethnicity, creed, values, beliefs, etc. I truly believe we can make the world a better place for children by continuing to do the work we are still doing.
I also chose to further explore the National Institute for Early Education Research. A majority of the families I serve are African American. I sincerely believe our upbringings and background have tremendous impact on who we are and want to further explore how being African Americans directly impacts childhood. It will better my services to my families.
