I am so excited about forming these alliances with professionals in the Early Childhood across the globe. I have initiated alliance with two professionals in Africa. One of the alliances I have initiated was with Mr. Eric Atmore. He is a part of the OMEP South African National Committee. This is a non-profit organization concerned with all aspects of early childhood education and care. Also they defend and promote the rights of the child to education and care worldwide. This committee is located in Clarinch, South Africa. The second alliance I have initiated is with Mrs. Bimbo Are. She is a part of the Niger Delta Academic Foundation. This foundation is comprised of students and professionals that advocate for all children to have academic success and to promote a healthy development among early childhood programs. I have initiated this alliance by emailing both of these people and I am awaiting a response. I have found an organization named “Association for Childhood Education International”. This association’s mission is to promote and support the optimal education and development of children worldwide and also to influence the professional growth of educators. There website is www.acei.org. I am interested in finding out more information of what they do and also to see if I could get information that I could apply to my center. It is so important to establish relationships that you can both pour out and also receive which both benefits all.
Prior coursework introduced me to the Association for the Childhood Education International, and I was impressed with their mission. I hope you make contact with a professional through this organization, and will be following your blog to see if this happens. Good luck, McKenzie!
