Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 1
I have not yet to hear a response from my international contact. I have sent an email, but at the same time I have started with my alternate assignment. The following people are from the radio podcast. I enjoyed learning and hearing from people who share the same passion as me. The world forum also has a blog, I also invite my classmates to blog at http://worldforumfoundation.org/wf/wp/
The podcast promotes the exchange of ideas between people and cultures on all topic related to young children. I learned that there are many resources and people who are as as passionate about learning about poverty and how to help in the communities who are affected. In my opinion we are all affected by poverty in one way or another.

Debra,
ReplyDeleteI like that you have pictures to go with names of your contacts. I look forward to learning more about Canada especially. I have a friend that is moving there this summer (due to husband's job transfer) and we have been talking a lot about their early childhood field.

Nice Debra. I like everything about this blog. I love the pictures though I may say. Barbara Jones is becoming one of my favorite advocates for young children. It is nice to know that there are a lot of people who are interested in helping poverty related children all over the world. I encourage you to keep up the good work.
