I have been taking an in-depth look at savethechildren.org. One of the specific sections that I have been taking more of a look at is the Where we Work Tab. I have looked at the United States to find out more information about our own country and the children in need. Under this tab you can also find a place to help children that are in need. You can sponsor your own child and help them with basic supplies that they might need. As an educator I have looked at being an advocator with the help of this website. They give you many different links to help you take steps in the right towards helping our own children in this country. You can sign up for e-mails and also ready about legislation happening in our country.
Through their newsletter I received information on the Advocacy Summit in Washington DC. I read the news letter and the information on what was going to be discussed. I didn't know that it was so easy to sign up and support children. This is definitely something that I am going to look more into, especially when it effects me locally.
Through the e-mails that I get it really shows me that there are politicians are trying to do what they can for education but there are bigger things that they are dealing with. It is our role as educators to make sure that we never give up in helping the children and continue to press important issues with politicians.
This website is very informational. l found it very interesting to look at the donate page and see all the different things that can be donated, from a soccer ball to a goat or cow. It is amazing to me how different people live all over the world and how much people really do need help to have basic supplies.
