The three
international organizations that appealed to me are the following:
O.M.E.P.: Organisation
Mondiale Pour L'Éducation Préscolaire) is an international non-governmental and
non-profit organization that is concerned with all aspects of early childhood
education and care field. This organization associates persons without
distinction of race, nationality or political beliefs, aim to improve education
and care for children from birth to eight years of age. “OMEP was founded in
Europe (Prague, 1948) and have National Committees in 24 countries throughout
Europe”(www.worldomep.org). It is the oldest and largest international, non-governmental and non-profit organization.
“Early
Education Services (EES) was launched in India in 2007 by ICF Incorporated to
tackle some of the major challenges facing early childhood education in India”(www.icf.com).
Some challenges included lack of national early childhood education standards
and professional development system. ICF provides early childhood education training and
technical assistance, does much needed research and evaluation, and supports
corporate child care in India. The population is high in India and there are
many challenges facing early childhood education. I chose this organization because
the ICF organization was founded by in 1969 by former Tuskegee Airman C.D.
Lester began a venture capital firm in the Washington, D.C. area.
Association for Childhood Education International is
concerned with making sure each child have a bright future in every nation.
ACEI has been an international organization driven by the belief that education
is essential to human development.
The reason I chose these organizations is because one
day I am going to travel all over the world and my first two places I would
love to visit is Europe and India. I want to visit the Taj Mahal in India. When I visit I would love to do some volunteer work in the Early Childhood Education field there.

Ms. Davis,
ReplyDeleteYou picked some unique place to travel and support their education. One of my findings through these organizations, they only wanted young people born after 1981. However, most youth do not want to support the early childhood field like an older adult. I can't imagine trying helping a organization who don't want to support people of age.
Hello Monica,
ReplyDeleteWow! Those were some awesome places to visit. I like the idea of you doing some volunteer work. I really like what the EES is doing in the ECE field. it seems as though they are trying to improve to high quality care for these children. Was there a specific kind of volunteering you would like to do in these countries, or even volunteer in a certain program. Great post!
Ms. Davis,
ReplyDeleteI loved that you incorporated international ECE resources. Do you speak French? Just asking. If you do volunteering as you hope what area are you most interested in? (ex. building brick and mortar school, reading to children, etc)
