For this assignment, I have selected two individuals who have had and currently still does have a major impact in the early childhood field. Although I have not received a response back from them as of yet, I do look forward to communicating with them and forming a positive dialogue with each person.
The first person is: Delfena Mitchell
She is the Director of the Liberty Children's Home on the outskirts of Belize City. This program houses children from birth to give years old.
The link to her program is http://www.libertyfoundation.org.uk/and this is where I will continue trying to reach out to Ms. Mitchell, in addition to learning more information about her program. I went about locating Ms. Mitchell on facebook, and found Liberty's group page.
The second person is: Deevia Bhana
She is a Professor of Education at the University of KwaZula- Natal in South Africa.She deals with children and their genders, sexualities, violence, and HIV + AIDS. I had to locate Ms. Bhana from searching for her on the web, for she couldn't be found via facebook.
The two websites that I have chosen to follow are:
National Black Child Development Institue: http://nbcdi.org/
Harlem Children's Zone: http://www.hcz.org/
Hi Sherrell,
ReplyDeleteI know you must be extremely excited about connected with professionals from abroad. I hope you give us all some input in your information you will receive about early childhood care. I wanted to connect with an international instructor, but it did not happen, I will continue to try. I would love to hear about the issues from Liberty Children's Home on the outskirts of Belize City.
The program that houses children from birth to give years old. Getting in contact with a Professor of Education at the University of KwaZula- Natal in South Africa will help to learn a lot about the children in Africa, their genders, sexualities, the violence they face, and HIV + AIDS. I really wanted to reach out to someone there. Please keep us informed. Great job

Hi Sherrell,
ReplyDeleteYou stated something that I did not even think about when trying to make contact with some of the professionals abroad and that was to check to see if they had a facebook page. I don't know why but this idea never dawned on me to do. I have not received any correspondence back yet either but I will go and check to see if they have an individual facebook page. Thanks
Hi Sherell,
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on your blog entry and you also gave me and idea on another way to contact my two professionals. I never once thought about Facebook but I am glad that you shard this information.
Free2fly and Kami,
ReplyDeleteI only located one of my indivduals on there and it wasn't her personal page, but in fact the page to her children's home. However, her personal email was on there which is how I emailed her, so now I'm just playing the waiting game. I hope that you hear back from your people.
