Thanks for your post! I appreciate the little image at the end. As adults, we know the importance of nourishing ourselves, but I think it can get forgotten the affect malnourishment has on a child and their functioning, especially in school. Food also sometimes brings kids to school-they know they will have a safe and reliable meal. Great post!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I too found some really helpful information on this website, and am honestly surprised that I haven't used this website prior to this assignment. Great mission and lots of great info that keep us thinking and pushing us to do more for children everywhere!
ReplyDeleteKathleen,
ReplyDeleteI liked that you mentioned how you also heard Save the Children was a scam organization. I had heard that as well. I believe they had used a celebrity endorsement and found that it tarnished their reputation. I have also heard the assumption that Save the Children does not offer help to children in the U.S. I did believe that assumption as well. However, I now know that it does. I even went as far as to see if they offer career opportunities. They do offer career opportunities in the U.S. I was surprised at how much the organization does for children. Would you know recommend this organization to someone interested in helping children?
Channette,
DeleteI would recommend this organization. I saw that they do some many things for children and families. I like that they have careers and I am interested in helping or pursing a part-time job.
Thanks for sharing Kathleen! I also liked the article, “Why are unaccompanied children traveling to the U.S. border?” I live in San Diego, and my family lives a few miles from the U.S./Mexico border, so we are up close and personal with all that is going on regarding these children. The “Migrant Caravan” that came up the the U.S./Mexico border not too long ago also had an impact on my family's hometown as well. It’s so mind-boggling to me to be so close to something that is such a big deal.
ReplyDeleteItze, that article really hit home for you then. I can only imagine being that close to such an event.
