Here are some Communities of Practice that still appeals to me on National/Federal Level.
UNICEF: This organization is committed to realizing the rights of all children to help them build a strong foundation and have the best chance of fulfilling their potential. They are on the course to make sure that there is access to shelter, good nutrition, clean water and sanitation, healthcare and education for every Nigerian child, especially the low-income families.

DOLLY CHILDREN FOUNDATION: A non-profit organization working to provide materials like textbooks, uniforms, and school supplies to children in need and supplement the financial load on their parents. They are passionate about bringing affordable education to Nigerian children.

What appealed to me most in all of these mentioned organizations is their passion, partnership and willingness to serve the people. They are not interested in what they get in return will but how to affect positive changes in the society.
JOB OPPORTUNITIES/SKILLS
The major skills I must bring to table is team playing, willingness and great communication skills. There were no published job opportunities, except opportunity to be a volunteer. I still need to develop myself professionally, enroll in courses that will help me practice anti-bias education in full, while I make trainings available for other early years educators who are not privileged and do not have access to proper professional developments. My role as a teacher is still maintained.
These organizations are essential in the fight for the basic human rights each individual child is entitled to. There is an urgency to adequately provide provisions for the betterment of children and families. The Dolly Children Foundation appeals to me as an organization committed to offering relief to lower income families as a means of a brighter future and a ray of hope.
ReplyDeleteDolly Children Foundation sounds like a remarkable organization. How amazing that they are willing to go above and beyond to help those families and children that are in need. When doing a little more research on Dolly Children, they have a strong statement that really stood out to me. "Our story isn't the same without education." What a powerful statement!
