Getting to know your International contacts pt2

The Global Children’s initiative was established six years ago on behalf of children everywhere that they may be given the opportunity to grow up to live long, lasting, productive lives; without the fear of succumbing  to preventable issues relating to lack of proper healthcare, poor nutrition, and lack of finances. Things that I learned about the organization expounded my knowledge of knowing this organization realizes the deficits lay within all communities; not limiting resources to just the poor yet spreading awareness to the rich as well. The strategic areas of “reframing the discourse around child health and development in the global policy arena by educating high-level decision-makers about the underlying science of learning, behavior, and health, beginning in the earliest years of life; supporting innovative, multi-disciplinary research and demonstration projects to expand global understanding of how healthy development happens, how it can be derailed, and how to get it back on track; and building leadership capacity in child development research and policy—focused on both individuals and institutions—in low- and middle-income countries to increase the number and influence of diverse voices and perspectives that are contributing to the growing global movement on behalf of young children” will offer a wider umbrella of support to engage and tackle the battle of providing such basic resources to those in need.  Lastly, Sharing the renowned work of the organization though pictures, and media has potential to engage our natives and natives of other countries to entice and eventually engulf the viewer’s time, talents and money into supporting the cause.
