Expanding Resources
I am  looking forward to expanding my resources and sharing information with other  professionals in other countries.  To begin my search for new contacts, I  researched the UNICEF website. I chose to research Africa, Nigeria and Europe Bulgarian.  As a  result, I sent email messages to the UNICEF representatives for both countries.   I hope I receive a reply but so far I haven't.
Regarding the professional website I chose, I researched the National Council on Educating Black (www.ncebc.org)Children (NCEBC). This affiliated chapter is made up of people who actively care bout the well-being of Black Children. Their mission statement is improving and protecting the quality of life for African Amercan children and families. NCEBC was founded by a Harvard professor (Dr. Ron Edmonds) because many people assume poor African children cannot learn. "He knew, as we all know, that is simply not true. " I chose this website because for me I want to be able to help all children but first I must learn the ends and out and what best way to learn is through my own culture.

Denice - I also found the NCEBC organization to be very interesting. In the county where I work, there is a similar organization that educates professionals on how to reach and educate black children. For my organization, I chose the Harvard Childrens Zone which works with underprivileged children in Harlem.
