Establishing International Contacts

I chose Alternative to Part 1.  The website I used was http://www.globalfundforchildren.org/. 

The website states that At The Global Fund for Children, we transform the lives of children on the edges of society—trafficked children, refugees, child laborers—and help them regain their rights and pursue their dreams. In other words, we do all we can to let kids be kids—no matter what their circumstances. Since 1997, we’ve reached nearly 10 million children worldwide.

The Global Fund for children finds and invests in small, locally led organizations that transform the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children.  By providing grassroots organizations with a combination of flexible cash grants and capacity-building services, we help them achieve their goals and maximize their impact. The result: strong grassroots organizations that are transforming children’s lives, their communities, and civil society as a whole.

I watched a video entitled Shining Hope for Communities:  Kiberia School Girls Perform Poetry.  This was a very inspirational video that showed young girls reciting poetry together.  This school for girls has won numerous awards from the Kenyan government at the National Music and Elocution.
