 Blog Assignment: Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

UNICEF

(United Nations Children's Fund) works for every child's survival, protection, and development, especially those in the most challenging and outcast situations. It has a strong presence in 190 countries, with 156 Country Offices and 34 National Committees.

In line with the Convention on the Right of the Child, ratified by the United Nations in 1989, UNICEF strives to ensure that the international community fulfills the promises made to children. It conducts long-term, international development programs aimed at seven main priorities: child health, education, child protection, mother-to-child diseases, access to clean water, nutrition, and enabling children to participate in decisions that affect their lives. It does humanitarian work, providing support and protection to children in crisis and emergency. UNICEF's work is supported by the voluntary contributions of individuals and institutions. The donations they collect ensure that a child grows up healthily, receives regular education, and stands on his own feet in life.

For this reason, its regular donors are almost like parents to children in need. In addition, regular donations give UNICEF the flexibility to access ever-changing areas of need more quickly. I couldn't find a job opportunity other than finding donors and working for various aids.

Save the Children

The second international organization I chose is Save the Children. This organization not only helps students and families overcome struggles related to poverty, but also helps in situations such as all kinds of natural disasters and there is a lot of help available in case of emergency. This organization was founded in the UK in April 1919 and has grown tremendously over the years. Job opportunity: Family Services Coordinator. This job would allow me to gain experience running the day-to-day operations of a facility while collaborating with Save the Children. Qualifications required for this job include holding a bachelor's degree, relevant work experience, knowledge of Head Start programs and English-speaking skills.

Feed the Children

As part of my Capstone project, I chose to Feed the Children because it is in low-income families getting nutrition assistance and school meal programs. Feed the Children is an organization with a mission to provide hope and resources for children who lack the foundations of life. The primary purpose of this organization is to ensure that children have the basic survival needs and ensure that they have access to adequate food resources. This is an issue that children and families worldwide deal with every day, and as an advocate for social change, I feel we need to use our resources to help others.

She holds different positions for Feed the Children, Senior Program Officer-Food and Nutrition, and Health and Water. The Senior Program Officer-Food and Nutrition and Health and Water position is primarily responsible for supporting the global program activities of the Feed the Children's Child-Centered Community Development (CFCD) program across all country offices. This position will support many key program dimensions, including planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of country programs, supporting the Feed the Children's Child-Centered Community Development (CFCD) program strategy, providing technical assistance, training and support to the country programs. As well as ensuring the integration of child development programming with Feed the Children's CFCD program framework. Develops and maintains the global scenario of program growth needs, capacity, and priority by region and country, coordinating with country child development coordinators, country program managers, and country directors. Supports child sponsorship teams with child development program information when needed

Required bachelor's degree, preferably in public health, nutrition, rural development, sociology, or another related field; Preferably a master's degree in the aforementioned similar fields.

    Thank you for sharing. UNICEF is a wonderful organization, and one I reference regularly. Save the Children does an amazing job as well. I have heard about Feed the Children, but I learned a lot from what you wrote about them. It is encouraging to hear that educators such as yourself are working to help improve the lives of young children.

Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field

-
    Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field   Faster than we ever thought: the first years of a child’s life set the stage for all future growth. In the earliest years of life, especially from pregnancy to age three, babies need nutrition, protection, and stimulation for healthy brain development. Recent advances in neuroscience provide new evidence about a baby’s brain development during this time. As a result, we know that in their earliest years, babies’ brains form new connections at an astounding rate – according to Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child, more than 1 million every single second – a pace never repeated again (UNICEF, 2017).  POVERTY is one of the biggest problems disturbing the education system of the countries. When families live in poverty, it becomes impossible for the next generations of that family to get out of this situation. With early childhood education, young ages from low-income families get a q...

Nonviolent Communication and Conflict Management

-
  O'Hair and Wiemann (2012) say conflict is "inevitable" (p. 220). Conflicts are something that happens in every communication, sometimes easily overcome or sometimes not resolved. The less fight in human life, the more peaceful it will be. Of course, it is almost impossible to avoid this. A conflict I have encountered recently may have some communication problems in my family with my teenage son. My 14-year-old son's school offers them virtual or in-person education. My son wants to participate in virtual learning activities from home some days. Some days, under our forcing, he goes to school and gets training face to face. We support him in getting an education by going to school so he can socialize at school. He has recently been volunteering to participate in virtual education because he can play online games during training breaks (lunch, physical education, recess). He cannot manage his time at all when he played computer games. I tried to explain this situa...

I am not a good podcast listener, I have listened to English podcast when I was learning English, but I hope to turn my routine into habits with this lesson. In my researches, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-early-childhood-research-podcast/id1039178520 apple's podcasts caught my attention, and I found works on a wide range of topics in early childhood. The website that I decided to look at is the NAEYC website. I chose this website to have general knowledge about my field, to access information quickly, and to keep the developing resources under control. For this, we must continuously check. This website gives us a lot of awareness for our career and why we do our job. Also, this website provides us with positivity and encouragement during all trial periods we encounter every day.
