"...It's a world of laughter, a world of tears. It's a world of hope and world of fears. There's so much that we share, that it's time we're aware, it's a small world after all"
This week I have been asked to correspond with an early childhood professional outside my own country of the United States. I am looking forward to this because I have always believed that humans have more similarities than differences. I also believe in broadening one's worldview. I refer to a quote from one of my favorite movies, Harriet the Spy. (yes I have read the book but feel the movie is better) In the movie, Golly, Harriet's nanny, is taking the children to meet a friend of her's. The children are a little wary but Golly reminds them, "There are a million ways to live as there are people in this world. And each one deserves a closer look."
I began my search by asking friends who took this course what they did. I was told to utilize Facebook. I did. I also realized I work with people who know people overseas, so i asked them for help as well. I am please to announce both methods yielded results. I have made contact with my people and I am awaiting there response. I am excited to learn from them.
As for exploring a website....I am having trouble choosing. I tried to look at the NAEYC site a while ago but found it confusing. I thought about maybe WACAP.org because this is the agency that helped my parents adopt me. but then I back off from that idea as well. There's the Global Fund, teacher sites. I don't know each time I click on one I think, I can do this, but then I can't decide as I begin to like many.
I wish i was more decisive.
Good Luck everyone! May we make the world a little smaller.
