JObs/Roles in the ECE Community:Internationally

Three International Organizations that I found are:

1.      Care.org : This organization is an international organization that is located in 87 countries around the world. Their mission is to serve individuals and families in the poorest communities in the world. They focus on helping women in these poorer countries. They believe that when they provide women with the correct resources, they can have a positive impact on their families and whole communities. They provide education, healthcare and nutrition, they seek to end gender violence and much more. I chose this organization because  I agree with their mission and the work that they do. They seem to have a large organization and they are helping so many people. I found many job opportunities on for care.org. One in particular that stood out to me was : Education Project manager in Somalia. They need a talented individual to work with the ministry of education in Somalia to work on a Youth Education project. Any person employed in this position must be knowledgeable about education but also in international affairs. They must also be able to work under harsh conditions and willing to live internationally.

2.      Helpthechildren.org : This organization is both national and international. They are a Christian non-profit humanitarian relief organization. They seek to help children and families. Their mission is to increase self sufficiency. They provide food, clothing, personal items, etc. I chose this organization because I think that it is great to help others reach self sufficiency. Their mission is something that I would like to support and I appreciate the Christian values. They did not have career opportunities but many volunteer opportunities. I would like to help volunteer to put together food and personal item boxes and help them to be sent all over. An individual in this volunteer position must be able to work well with others and show compassion for others and must be a team player.

3.      Savethechildren.org: This organization focuses on many ways to help children. They do this through education, child protection, health and nutrition and much more. I chose this organization because I feel that they are advocating for children everywhere. A few courses ago, I chose this organization to subscribe to and I receive monthly newsletters from them. Career opportunity that caught my attention: Child Protection Coordinator: Save the children organization needs an individual to work to protect children with regard to the Ebola outbreak. This individual will need to work with others to ensure the safety of children. A person employed in this position must be able to work under harsh conditions and must posse great communication skills. They will need to coordinate every aspect of the job. Managerial experience is a must.
