The international
organizations that caught my attention are: The United Nation Children’s Fund, The
United Nations |Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization and The
Academy for Educational Development. The United Nations Children’s Fund has a
mission focused on children’s rights across the globe as well as responding to
children and families under distress with humanitarian action. As I reviewed some
of the sections of the organization I notice an article discussing a mother and
two children (under five years of age) from the Ukraine displaced from the
countries war fight against Russia. To
read how the mother struggles to pay for her apartment food and diapers for her
children sat with me. As a result I found this organization to support her with
a toolkit for children which consists of diapers, diaper cream and napkins. I was thankful the organization provided her
with support. I looked into some of the job opportunities under their
humanitarian action and found a humanitarian relief station located in New York.
I would choose to be a part of this organization by helping out with putting
these and other humanitarian kits together. I was unable to pinpoint skills as
I imagine having the desire to aid children and families and abide by their
mission to fight for children’s rights is a start.
The United Nations Education, Scientific, and
Cultural Organization caught my attention next as they have several objectives including
fostering diversity and “encompassing
observance of human rights, mutual respect and the alleviation of poverty”
(United Nations Education, Scientific, and
Cultural Organization Who We Are para 1) I found their mission to support peace
follows alongside of what I envision early childhood educators instilling in
children not just for military families. For example children are guided with
opportunities to manage emotional development and result to expressing their
feelings through words instead of hitting or kicking. I realized a bit of
sadness when children have to learn about peace and war as it seems this topic
is unavoidable. I was pleased to see the many different opportunities to join
their organization based on the level of education an individual has such as an
intern, consultant, general service member, young professional or professional.
I would choose to occupy the temporary consultant or consultant team so I could
advocate for children and families.
The Academy for Educational Development strives to improve lives of the
community and advocate for children by valuing the challenges with human
development. I enjoyed reading there vision because like early childhood
education they envision communities working to perform tasks at full or high
potential. I just imagine communities throughout the world supporting each other
in ways that build international relationships, knowledge and partnerships.
Like The
United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization they too offer
consultant, small business and internship job opportunities.
