I emailed a couple of professionals using the email addresses that were provided on the NAEYC website, but my emails were returned to me. So I tried locating email address that looked familiar like yahoo accounts. I emailed Blesilda Rios in the Phillippines and Mrs. Bimbo Are in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I explained that I was an Early Childhood Education major and was looking to correspond with them regarding issues and trends in the field. I have not received an email back, but I am hopful. If I don't receive a response by Tuesday I will have to proceed with the alternate.
The second part of our assignment expanding resources I chose the Harlem Children's Zone website. I chose this site because I am from New York and am interested in the fight to end poverty for minorities and all people. I realize that poverty has a negative affect on children. When I clicked on the website the first thing you see is statistics on how there early childhood programs are impacting the lives of the people in Harlem. I will enjoy following this website.
I have had the same issues with receiving responses as well. However minorities receive the short end of the stick in society and they have alway been closely related to poverty. Our children feel the effects of the problem the most. in order to fix the problem, it must first be addressed and I think your post is a great start.
