Establishing Professional Contacts
I chose the second website;
UNICEF has local organizations and representatives worldwide. Check out the country specific links and contact a local representative:
http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/index.html to locate and contact two professionals. The UNICEF are the leading advocate for children's rights. This website is where you can learn about their goals and accomplishments for each region. I went to contact us and emailed them at accra@unicef.org. I also tried to fax them at 773.147; I was not successful. It have been three days and I have not heard anything from an early childhood professional. my second contact was Jamaica. I contacted them at Kingston@unicef.org. I sent a fax to 929.8084, and it did go through. I am waiting for a reply. I explained to both of my contacts that I am a student in the United States that is working towards a Master degree in the early childhood education. I stated that I would like to discuss their work, the state of the early childhood field in their country, and any concerns, as well as their hopes and dreams for this field. I may have top go the alternative assignment if I have not received anything by Monday.

Hi Guadalupe,
ReplyDeleteI see you were having difficulty, I was too, but I would like to know if you coul research anywhere in the world , why you chose Jamaica?
Hi, Guadalupe. Unicef is a phenomenal program around the world. I remember as a child seeing the "Unicef" coins around Halloween. I asked my dad what it was and he made me look them up. I can only imagine how much they have done since I looked them up many years ago. I am sorry you haven't received a response, but I hope you do.
ReplyDeleteHello Guadalupe,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post! I will definitely take a look at this resource so that I can also familiarize myself with more information. The organization I chose was NAEYC.

Looks like you have taken some giant steps on establishing professional contacts and I'm sure someone will contact you soon. I think because of their location they may have tons of e-mails they have to go through daily and probably can't get to all of them. With Monday being a Holiday I would give them a few more days. You did awesome!! I also tried to e-mail some, but I didn't fax anyone. Hopefully someone contacts us all soon. Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck with your contacts. Glad to have you in another class. I look forward to reading your journey.
