World Vision is a worldwide organization that relies primarily on private/public sponsorship to help meet their goal of assisting children all over the world. This organization serves over 100 million children in nearly 100 countries. The World Vision organization strives to help meet the basic needs of children, in addition to providing them with a good education. This organization does not have any job opportunities that I am qualified for because they only seem to have corporate positions. Available. For more information, you can visit their website at http://www.worldvision.org
Save the Children is a very large organization that serves over 120 nations by helping poverty-stricken children and their families. The organization strives to assist these children by protecting them from exploitation. They provide needy families with housing, medical, and education benefits. Some of the populations they help have been greatly affected by natural disasters, wars, and ethnic cleansings. In order to be a successful member of this organization, it would be imperative to be a real ‘hands on’ worker and have excellent communication skills. There are some openings for volunteers in the Washington , DC
The World Forum Foundation is an organization which brings early childhood educators from all over the globe together to brainstorm ideas and launch projects that affect children worldwide. At World Forum gatherings people come together to launch global projects on specific issues and topics. Current projects focus on AIDS and young children, peace education, teacher education, and immigration and young children. In order to be a member of this group, one would have to possess a real desire to improve early childhood education on a global basis. There are no job openings with the World Forum Foundation at this time.
Ellen,
ReplyDeleteI learned alot from looking at and researching these websites, they are many areas that they help others and they provide numerous resources throughout the world. It was truly hard for me to choose which one I liked the best. Thanks for sharing!
Ellen great information. I noticed that many of my links didn't have jobs posted but majority of them had volunteer positions available. I wonder how many of these organizations are able to sustain themselves.
ReplyDeleteI love the World Forum Foundation - the thought of being in a room with top ECE professionals from across the world really excites me. I'll be looking into this organization and hopefully one day having the oppurtunity to attend one year.
