Sharing Web Resources

What made me think is that more than 14.5 million children in America were poor in 2015, and these children are from working parents.  I just don’t understand why so many law makers if we as a nation don’t see for all these poor children.  What bothers me most is that these 14.5 million poor children are Black or Latino. I don’t see an end to this children poverty. It is just a cycle of children in poverty. These children are often less healthy, their development are hinder because they don’t have the right resources and are left behind.  And what is sad is these poor children become poor parents. Like the website mentions every year we let children live in poverty.

There is hope for some help with the Child Care Access Resources for Early learning Act. This act would help children under age 4 and with income level below 200 percent of poverty and a need for child care would receive services.  Every three years the act would conduct a study to show the state the cost of child care and to set up payment rate that attracts and retain high –quality child care provider. This act would make sure that the children would be provide with a well develop educational program that meets the needs of all children.

Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 1

Child Poverty Insights - Overcoming Illness and Poverty:  Rio de Janeiro’s




The country that I choose to talk about is Brazil.  Rio de Janeiro’s has some urban areas where children in poverty exist.  It is the poorest and vulnerable parents in this urban area. Since 1991 this program call Associacao Saude Crianca has work with Rio de Janeiro to overcome the cycle of poverty. This program mainly helps parents with children that have experience severe health problems. They provide comprehensive support in five areas: health, education, income, housing and citizenship. The program is custom designed and consists of 24 months. Family members are provide with food and medical care as well as job training, legal advice, housing assistant and help gaining access to government programs. The goal of the program is for families to gain skills and to break the cycle of poverty.

     Daraja early care and education program is what caught my attention. Daraja is the Swahili word for "bridge". The program works to build access to the poorest children in Africa. This program provides with a high quality and developmentally appropriate early childhood education to children in Africa. The program has a bus that is name Watoto Wonder Bus. Is a mobile teacher training program that provides with experts trainers and innovative materials to schools and child care centers in very low-income areas

The steps I took first are to choose part 1 of the assignment. I tried to connect to the two website provided but unfortunately the websites no longer exists. Here are the two places where I was unable to connect World Forum Foundation, World Forum Foundation Radio. I decided to research the other options. I decided to choose two websites outside the United States.  The Global Fund for Children, International Child Resource Institute Kenya is the two places that I would immerse myself to learn more about childhood institutes.  To stay connected and establish communication I send an email to request their newsletters. It would be eight weeks of exiting journey, learning about trends and issues in the childhood settings.
