Blog Assignment: Sharing Resources:
1. The section of information that seemed particularly relevant to my current professional development is using sport for development. The "Unicef" uses sports as a strategy to help developed physical strength and play. In the profession I am inspiring to teach in play, exploration and observation is essential part of a young child's development.
2. I found "Australian Cricketers," to visiting teen mothers to be a great way of catching the attention of young mothers and inspiring them to stay in school. Young mothers also are educated on the importance of HIV and Aides.
3. The Unicef website helps me to understand the trouble today's youth is in due to the economy and changes in world climate. The Unicef recognizes the need of investing into the needs of the youth in hopes of curing poverty.
4. One other new insight I learned about issues and trends in the early childhood field is how the " Unicef" youth advocate for the rights of all children. The youth worked together by being young people's voice and to speak on behalf of other children. For example primary children feel they want to go to school and play they feel they should be provided medicine when they are sick. All of these rights are addressed by the youth working for Unicef.

Thank you for sharing your resources! I found the information on using physical activity very interesting. What specific goals or accomplishments do you hope to achieve in relation to this matter?
ReplyDeleteI think UNICEF is a great resource. I studied UNICEF and their goal is to eradicate the AIDS/HIV epidemic. Strategies include: providing voluntary, confidential testing and infant feeding counseling for pregnant women, helping governments develop infant and young child feeding policies that encourage early and exclusive breastfeeding and include HIV guidelines, protecting breastfeeding, and promoting optimal infant feeding in hospitals.
ReplyDeleteIt is powerful when generations come together in support of each other. You mentioned that the youth worked together by being young people's voice and to speak on behalf of other children. What a valuable opportunity for youth to be raised up as leaders and given the opportunity to speak out on behalf of other, younger children.
