Getting Ready-Establishing Professional Contact and Expanding Resources

The 2 countries that I decide to learn more about is South Africa (Africa) and North America (Canada). In my attempt to locate 2 professional I have not yet receive an email response. For South Africa, I emailed Mr. Eric Atmore. Mr. Atmore is apart of The National Early Childhood Development Alliance. The address is P.O.Box 2363 Clarinch, 7740 South Africa. Before I was able to send an email to Mr. Atmore, I had to establish a POP3 e-mail. Once the e-mail was established I was then able to introduce myself and request the honor of corresponding back and forth with him regarding the various issues and trends that the children in his country may be faced with. if I do not receive a response in the next day r so I will proceed to the alternative to part 1.
My second professionals name is Yvonne Dionne. I too have not yet received a reply regarding y interest in establishing a relationship to learn more about the country of South America. Yvonne Dionne is in association with the Canadian Child Care Federation. Hopefully I am able to receive a response this week.

The website that I chose to study and review is the National Black Child Development Institute. This organization along with others have the mission to improve and advance the quality of life for Black Children and their families through advocacy. Even though the organization is geared more to Black children and families' it's overall envision is a society that ensures a successful future for all children. The National Black Child Development Institute holds conferences and workshops for educators and parents. They offer employment opportunities within their organization. They also have a 24/7 resources line. This organization has a powerful and effective voice on issues related to the education care, and health of Black children and their families. One thing that this website did not offer was a newsletter. The organization also serve as a national resource agency providing programs, publications, advocacy and trainings related to early childhood care and education: k-12 education, health and wellness, literacy, family engagement, and child welfare. The reason why I chose this website is because I have never heard of it before. I wanted to choose a much familiar website but I decided to research something new. It seems that this organization is established and is a pillar in the community of Black children and families
