UNICEF states, “Every child has the right to survive and
thrive,” unfortunately, many do not get that opportunity. Three areas of
early international childhood that UNICEF (https://www.unicef.org/what-we-do)
are Nutrition, Health, and Early Childhood Development. UNICEF understands that
children develop the most during the first few years of life, I like the quote
that they have by Raffi Cavoukian “When you pay attention to the beginning of
the story, you can change the whole story.” UNICEF recognizes that children
living internationally do not always have health care, and many children die
from things that are completely preventable with proper care. They also recognize
the importance of proper nutrition, which many children do not have access to or
even know what proper nutrition is. My goal for this field to raise
international awareness is to pay more attention to the stories and help change
the path of the story to a wonderful story with a long life.
Hello Mary,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post. Reading your words takes the mind back to our most recent assignment. The quote was one of a few that in the running to make the same point your entry so eloquently states. There are so many children that miss the opportunity for holistic school readiness training.
Enjoyed reading and responding.
