    Naire,
    Thank you for sharing these inspiring international organizations. I have not heard of ECPAT until your post. This is an organization that is at the front of a major issue not only for adults globally but also young children. I have viewed a few documentaries about this trend and it is quite disheartening that child are thought to be in an orphanage but it is just a front for human trafficking or sexual exploitation of young children. I like learning of organization that are trying with as much might to end these heinous acts. The position available seems to be one that would be quite a lot of work but very much worth the goal in the end to know you have worked so hard to save young children.
    Thank you again for sharing an organization that is taking on a major issue.

    Naire,

    Thanks for sharing these three organization. A Few courses back, I first learned about UNICEF and I absolutely fell in love with their mission to help children in need. I follow their facebook page and they frequently provide information about ways the organization is helping children all around the world. They also get their viewers involved by posing different questions, that relate to ways we can benefit the wellbeing of young children. This would be great page to follow if you have social media accounts!

Sharing Web Resources I chose Association for Children Education International organization. ACEI is international organization and its belief that education is important for development. The focus of ACEI to educate all children , but their main focus is on meeting the education needs to the children that in need the most. Their work started in 1892 to promote kindergarten education in the United States and internationally. In 1930 their work expanded to promote education to primary school years. In their Global/ACEI news section “ Our Children Marching For Their Lives in the United States” caught my attention. Children in United States and around the world are marching to protest against gun violence in schools. The violence in today’s world has become ordinary and common. This violence causes number of deaths, injuries, pain and fear throughout the world. I have leaned from this article that children march for tow reasons, they march to express their emotion and also to show to th...

Testing For Intelligence  I do not think that Standardized Testing correctly measures a student’s intelligence or academic level. Every one is different, and some test well, while others may not test as well. While they may differentiate as to a grade and tell whether or not you move on to the next grade, everyone learns at their own pace and processes things differently. I believe that it puts too much pressure and stress on students to do good on those tests like the SAT, ACT tests, etc. I don’t feel like you can gain anything from taking those tests because most of the questions that are on the test are the ones that you’ve never seen before or you’ve never even learned about in school. It shouldn’t have to play a role on smart the student is or determined their abilities. If I was the leader of the state’s Department of Education, I would advocate fewer standardized tests so that it doesn’t put a lot of pressure on the students to do well on them. In china China, all s...
