Last week I wrote that the organization I would focus on and learn more about was
the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
I have decided that I wanted to focus on another organization instead, one that has recently caught my attention. The organization is the Global Fund for Children and they focus on helping children regain their innocents and help them enjoy their childhood by allowing them to just be kids. They work with trafficked children, refugees and child laborers all around the world. They transform the lives of children on the edge of society by helping the regain their rights and pursue their dreams. Global Fund for Children invest in organizations that enable the most vulnerable children in their communities to thrive. This organization does a lot of great work that benefits children in harsh situations.

The Spring newsletter for the Global Fund for Children had a lot of interesting information. One of the first thing that caught my attention, was the letter written by the CEO. In it Kristen Lindsey talks about how stress and trauma from a tragic situation effects children's development and everyday life. She talks about how sever stress can cause a child to have difficulty learning and developing health relationships. In order to aid in the problem and find a solution Global Fund for Children and their partners help by guiding children and youth through the steps of grief and recovery and help them prepare for adulthood.
Through the efforts of the Global Fund for Children and their many partners, they were able to invest more than $960,000 to other organizations that work in conflict affected areas in 26 countries. They partnered with more than 60 organizations and was able to touch the lives of more than 200,000 affected children. Their goal is to create local solutions to protect and heal children and families in conflict-affected areas and thus far they are doing a great job but their is more work to be done.

That sounds like a really interesting organization to be looking up information on. I do have one question. Does it say anywhere on the website how this organization helps these kids by "just letting them be kids"? Do they elaborate at all or give any specific examples?
ReplyDeleteAshley,
