Sharing Web Resources- Save the Children

The Save the Children Organization website contains a ton of information.

I did not notice any outside links. The links that are on the website take you to another location on the website. There are many reports to read and information about the activities  that the organization is involved with.

I decided to explore the interactive map of places where the organization is located. I was amazed when I studied the map. They are in 120 countries! The map is literally covered by the little figurines that show the various locations. Save the Children organization is helping children every where!

I do receive the newsletter from the organization. The majority of them, if not all, are asking for donations or to sponsor a child. I did receive a newsletter with the story of a child. At the end of the story, it asks for sponsorship. The most recent newsletter discussed poverty and what it meant for that child.

Through their efforts with education, Save the Children organizations seek to make sure that all children have access to high quality education. They train teachers, coach parents and caregivers to help children with being ready for school, and much more.

I see that they want to help all children have access to education. In doing so, they seek equity for all children.

The Save the Children Organization is doing wonderful things to help children. They are stationed all over the world and advocate for children in many areas that can help them to lead a great life.

  1. Hi Christina,

    Save the Children seems to have a lot in common with Education For All. All over the world they are struggling and advocating for better education. Like you mentioned about your newsletter, I feel like everyone always needs money for everything. Why can't money just grow on trees ;) Thanks for sharing.

  2. Christina,

    I really like that this organization trains not only teachers but also parents/caregivers. We could definitely use more of the parent/caregiver training in my area! And probably across the United States. As teachers, I feel that we can only do so much... what really needs to change is the home situation with most children and that can't change without parent education.

    Thanks for sharing,
    Amanda
