Contact outside the United States

When I learned that we were to have contact with an early childhood educator outside the united states, I was really excited. I love learning about other cultures and how their children are taught differently than ours. I immediately contacted three educators outside the U.S. I contacted Germany, El Salvador, and Ghana. I was sad to learn that the Ghana email address was no longer working. I will continue to try to receive a response from other countries though.
The website that I decided to dive into was the National Black Child Development Institute. I thought that by learning how the minorities in our own country view early childhood education it may be easier to understand some of the ideas that I discuss with my future "pen pal" from outside the U.S. This group has been around for 40 years and has worked to improve the status of child welfare services. I found this to be fascinating. I liked this website because I currently work for a company that has three centers. One of which is for lower income families and I have seen the terrible things and emotional states of the children on the lower side of the economic realm, most of whom are of the black community. I do not care what color or race a child or person for that matter, is everyone deserves a fair shot at making something of themselves. I believe that children who are offered a chance to learn early in life that they will be better prepared to survive in the "real world" when it comes around to them.
