The wider the range of possibilities we offer
children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their
experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of
situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations
of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers,
and adults.
~Loris Malaguzzi
"Safety and
security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and
public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our
society, a life free of violence and fear."
~Nelson Mandela
"Our lives
begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

Pausing
to listen to an airplane in the sky, stooping to watch a ladybug on a plant,
sitting on a rock to watch the waves crash over the quayside - children have
their own agendas and timescales. As they find out more about their world
and their place in it, they work hard not to let adults hurry them. We
need to hear their voices.

Children
need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a
necessity.

Walden
University master’s program,Early
Childhood Studies - Teaching Adults in Early Child Care has been a wonderful journey
for me. Learning new ways to teach and to explore Avenues I would have never experience
if I had not attended Walden U.
One
of my deeply felt leanings was getting on the “Save the Children” email News
letter. I would not have ever signed up for this email if I had not been in Dr.
Anthony Morgan’s class. One day I would like to be a part of this organization what
a wonderful group of people who is all about children. If you would like to get emails from Save the
Children just write to them at emailnews@mailsavethechildren.org.uk
The
second deeply felt learning was from the discussions that I and my colleagues
had every week. I learn more about myself as well as my classmate through our
thoughts and feeling on different issues. Giving each other advice and
suggestions help me grow in knowledge form people I do not know but understand,
because we all believe in the same goal helping children and their families.
The
third deeply felt learning was me myself. I have been through a lot in my 58
years of life. These classes brought out feeling that I have buried for many
years. I can say that I have grown from facing them. Even going through this
class I have gone through challenges and I was sure I was not going to make it,
but here I am in my last class. Thanking God, my instructors as well as my
colleagues for such a life changing experience.
My
long term goal is to start my school and community center. Reaching out to
families that need support and a kind hand, some one who will listen to their
stories without judgment, and someone that will have a safe place for them to
come when they feel lost.
I
would like to say to my colleagues, Thank You! You shared your life experiences
with the class that helped us all. I love the blogs as well as the discussion
we had weekly. I believe you are all great women who love children and want the
best for them in every way. Keep your dream in front of you at all time and let
God lead your way. I cannot wait to meet you all at our graduation. Congratulations
and may God bless you all thanks again.
I
would like to say to all of my professors’ thank you for this journey I have
walked through at Walden University. It has not been easy for me. I appreciate
all the support that was given to me through out the years. I have learned how
strong I am, and how I can do anything I put my mine to. Dr. Davis the capstone
project was my biggest challenge, but I feel I learn so much about what I want
in my professional life and now it is up to me to make it happen. Thank you for
everything. I will keep my dream in front of me, and I do believe I will
accomplish my goals. Thanks again to all of my Professors, my god bless you
all.

UNICEF is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized. They have the global authority to influence decision-makers, and the variety of partners at grassroots level to turn the most innovative ideas into reality. That makes them unique among world organizations, and unique among those working with the young.
They believe that nurturing and caring for children are the cornerstones of human progress. UNICEF was created with this purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. They believe that we can, together, advance the cause of humanity.
I choose UNICEF because they help children all over the world. I would like too do some voluntary work in another country working for UNICEF fighting for rights of children.
