Wonders in the World

As I sat back and thought of my post for this week the devastating news of the Kindergarten children shot in Connecticut ran across my television. Not only was I appalled by the fact innocent children where taken away from there families. I was even more devastated that it happened at school a place where children should be safe. How could someone create such a selfish act and take these children away from their families , friends, schools and communities. I sit back and think of every thing that has been learned during this course and I wonder will UNICEF or The Global Children's Initiative be there to support these families in this dire time of need?

Harvard University’s “Global Children’s Initiative” website

On Harvard University’s “Global Children’s Initiative” website, There are many things being done to help children around the world. In Zambia the Early childhood education initiation is being launched along with UNICEF to help bring a greater early childhood experience. Brazil politicians, policymakers, public managers and civil-society leaders had come together for the first time because of an executive leadership course on early childhood development, which was hosted by the Center on the Developing Child. "... growing, interdisciplinary body of scientific research is already starting to transform the health and well-being of children in the highest-income countries and offers promising opportunity for other nations. Much work needs to be done, however, to successfully raise the commitment to an integrated approach to child development that would enable such breakthroughs to cross economic and national borders" (Harvard GCI, 2012).
