Getting to Know International Contacts part 2

The newsletter I received from Hope to Haiti adds to my understanding of equality in early care programs.  The newsletter I received talked about how ladies at the Belleve Churh of Christ in Nashville sewed fifty pillowcase dresses for children in Haiti.  Many volunteers from twenty congregations across the United States wrote notes, purchases items, sorted, filled, and wrapped 1258 joy boxes for the children of Haiti.  The boxes are on their way to provide toys, school supplies and special surprises to the children in Haiti.  I think is was one of the act of kindness shown by communities that support children and families in need.  As early childhood educators, we are obligated to advocate for families and children in need, and find ways to assist in educating our young children.  Hope for Haiti Organization is doing a great job in supplying children with basic necessities to survive.
