Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 1

A new report by the United Nations Children's Fund, on the well-being of children in 35 developed nations, turned up some alarming statistics about child poverty. More than one in five American children fall below a relative poverty line, which UNICEF defines as living in a household that earns less than half of the national median (Fisher, 2013).  However, resources for professional growth help relieve some of the suffering.  For instance, providing different programs to reduce children living in unsafe poverty and more likely to live in poverty as grown-ups. 

ODI’s Growth, Poverty and Inequality Programme are a multi-disciplinary team working on one of the core issues of development policy and practice (Lenhardt, 2013).  The objective of this advantage is to develop a European viewpoint on upgrading issues in the international arena, on the basis of knowledge excellence, advance and constructing of common ground between the European research community and policy-makers.


The study based on the ODI development progress workshop was developed over years:  income vs non-income poverty, qualitative vs quantitative, absolute. Development progress tried to define the whats, whos, and hows of the alternative future.  There were a mixed group of individuals with different backgrounds in the sector of the whats, whos, and hows list.  Their mission is to communicate difficult ideas in the simplest way from end to end with the use of visual stimulus.  These actions aren’t picture-perfect; nevertheless they can stimulate their actions when able to see exactly how far away we are from our ideal world (Measuring up the post, 2015).

Blog Assignment: Sharing Web Resources

Blog Assignment: Sharing Web Resources.  From the Streets to the Classroom (and the Stage)

 By The Global Fund for Children on April 23rd, 2013



This organizations main object is to help grantee achievements with their vision to become sustainable, and reach even more children in need.  Also, support of given money to increase a stronger organization that provides critical services to vulnerable children. As well as supporting partners through management assistance, networking opportunities to strengthen services. 

I found issues and trends such as children dropping out of school at an early age, and never being able to see the inside of a classroom.  As a result, of these different programs this may ensure that children will attend school to learn instead of going to work, receiving the childhood they deserve.

Blog Assignment: Getting Ready—E stablishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

Part 1, "Establishing Professional Contacts,"

The World Forum websites were not accessible, as a result, the two establishing professional contacts websites I chose are:

The Global Fund for Children: An organization which provides capital to communities worldwide to improve the lives of children.

&

Save the Children: A U.S. based non-profit organization working on behalf of children worldwide.


Part 2, "Expanding Resources,"


Both foundations were established to offer professional help children with and without families to make a difference in their lives.  These foundations promote programs, such as providing healthy well-being programs to educate children and their families in need for help with financial challenges.  Also, make available nutritious programs to provide their family with the right selection of foods to avoid malnutrition.
