I chose the Save the Children Organization. I signed up to receive their newsletters also. The link to the website is http://www.savethechildren.org/site/c.8rKLIXMGIpI4E/b.6146355/k.24E9/Who_We_Are.htm
The organization's focus is on helping children and their families. They respond to natural disasters and conflict. They aim to help children with daily struggles such as poverty, hunger, literacy and disease. They advocate for child protection and survival, education, health and nutrition, and hunger and likelihoods.
The first newsletter that I received is asking for donations to help them reach their summer goal. When I signed up for the newsletter, the website stated that newsletters will contain personal stories about the children they help from the workers that help them. I look forward to my next newsletter.
Hi Christina
ReplyDeleteSave the children is a wonderful organization. while in college, I made a decision to donate to them for a few months until I was unemployed. Their focus is for the betterment for children and you have made the right decision to further your knowledge with their organization. I subscribed to the newsletter for the Children's Defense Fund, but I have not received anything yet and it is good that you have! I enjoyed your post and love the background to your blog page:)

I also was not completely impressed with my first newsletter from the Pew Charitable Foundation. I'm anxious to see what next week's letter is like.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am excited to read what others in the class have to report each week. It's nice to be able to learn things from others rather than read a lot of sites and newsletters on my own. Sometimes it's better to have information first-hand but other times it's nice to have a review from another colleague. Thanks in advance for information you share!
I think the Save the Children is a wonderful organization with a great focus to help children in need. I chose to sign up for the news letter for Zero to Three. I too have not received any newsletter so I am looking forward to receiving my first one. I hope your next newsletter is what you originally expected to receive in the newsletter.
ReplyDeleteHi Christina,
ReplyDeleteThe Save the Children Organization sounds very interesting. I like that they advocate for child protection. That is a sensitive subject for me. With the other things you mentioned that they advocate for makes this organization sound like they work to help children to grow into well rounded adults.
