The three organizations that I
chose were Save the Children, UNICEF, and UNESCO. Save Our Children is an
organization that protects children around the world in any crisis. They hope
to provide children with a healthy start, to transform their lives, and
changing the course of their future. The UNICEF organization works to attain
sustainable development goals in various partnerships with people to help
children and families. UNESCO organization’s goals are almost the same as
UNICEF, they work to protect those in human rights, mutual respect, and poverty
alleviation. I like these three organizations because they work hard to ensure
that the families are trained and helped well enough to sustain their own lives
and work to protect children.

Dear Angel,
ReplyDeleteI am very much familiar with these three international organization. They are all helpful for the EC professionals, children and their families. I have used these since the start of WU and I will continue to support and stay up to date with international resources, research, and information of new development on issues and discoveries to come. The family services coordinator sounds like a great opportunity to get the experience and skill supporting families and their children. Thanks for sharing.
Angel, I enjoyed reading your post. We actually chose to look at the same 3 organizations, yet posted some different job opportunities. The opportunities you posted are very interesting, working in child protection is such a worthy cause.
