Establishing Professional Contacts
This adventure has been so exciting thus far and I am super excited to take it to a new level by meeting and collaborating with early childhood professionals outside of the United States. When I read the assignment initially I was a little apprehensive, then I became very excited because I love an adventure so HERE WE GO!I remembered a young lady who is a world traveler and is currently working in Korea teaching English in a Korean school. Allow me to introduce Kaylee Robinson to you. She is a very adventurous young lady and I am excited to learn more about her adventures in Korea. Kaylee is one of my friends on Facebook so, I sent her a message asking if she would be willing to walk this journey with me. She responded and we will be communicating via e-mail and Facebook messaging. I hope to share photos of her adventures as well.
For my second professional, I went out to the website: http://www.naeyc.org/resources/partnership/globalalliance
Being that my dream is to one day own and operate a Child Development Center & Christian Academy, I was immediately drawn to the following professional in Ghana:
Rev Charles Arko-Nunoo
P.O. Box MK 157
Mankessim
C/R Ghana
Tel: + 233 42 34180
Email: 2kdotcom@ghana.com
I emailed him and I hope to hear from him soon.
Expanding Resources
I have been a subscriber of Zero To Three for a while now and receive their newsletters regularly so I will continue to do so. I have also subscribed to National Black Child Development Institute in order to receive their newsletters as well because I am very involved with low income families and I want to receive information in order to assist them as best I can and provide parents with as much information as I can pertaining to new research as well as programs.

Berdetta,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing how you are making contact with your childcare professionals from another country. I am excited also. If I don't hear anything from my two contacts I will try making contact with others.

Hi Berdetta,
ReplyDeleteI think that it is great that you will be you will be able to receive information first hand from your friend in Korea. I too have chosen The National Black Child Development Institute. Great minds think alike. I too was thinking that by researching them that I would be able to compare and become aware of low-income communities such as the one in my hometown. Good Luck with your childcare program/Academy. I know you are going to give it your all. Hang in there with God all things are possible.
