Links on the Global Fund for Children (GFC) web site led to information about the organizations mission, their grantees, blog, and media links, as well as their impact on solving equity issues for the world’s children. Another link Featured News, is dedicated to the Global Fund’s partnership with Financial Times (FT) MBA Challenge. The MBA Challenge is a program consisting of nine teams of business school students working with charities to develop plans for spending the grant money allocated by the GFC. Additional links to geographical regions of the world where and the Global Fund’s investments in the futures of young children.
The Fall 2013 edition of the newsletter contained a link to the recently released “Grassroots Manifesto” which outlines the organization’s approach to excelling in in efforts of change. A story focusing on girl’s rights to education drew my attention. Saanya Ali, a high school senior holds a fund raiser every year in honor of the Muslim holy month Ramadan to support the Oruj Learning Center a GFC grantee in Kabul, Afghanistan, last year she raised $5,000. The program reintegrates girls into the school system post-Taliban era. The Oruj operates six girl’s schools in rural villages and serves 5000 children.
The Global Fund for Children provides resources for many oppressed children around the globe. Their mission to seek out those with interest in helping children, provide the support and strengthen their partner’s efforts through management assistance, capacity building, networking opportunities, and additional strengthening services is one that works.

Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources  My initial request has not produced any response as of yet. I am hopeful that I will hear something in the coming week. If not, I will pursue the alternative assignment.  I requested correspondence form an early childhood professor in South Africa at the University of Limpopo, and I also emailed an organization in Mali for information on their early childhood issues and trends. I am eager to compare the differences in approaches as well as the areas that are similar. Since I am familiar with several of the organizations listed in the resource section I wanted to find one that I wanted to learn more about. I chose to explore is the Global Fund for Children (GFC). The site contains a variety of information from all over the world concerning children’s well-being.

According to Gilliam (2003) ongoing, job-embedded professional development is essential in guiding early childhood educators in understanding and adapting the curriculum to meet the learning needs of culturally and linguistically diverse children and children with disabilities, and design more effective approaches to working with all children.
