Blog Assignment: Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

Save the Children

Their goal is to be the generation that ends poverty, forever.
Every day 1800 children die and 800 woman die every day and this could be prevented.

If these were the goals of the United States and the United Nations, and every country of the world what a wonderful world this would be. What if each of us made these our personal goals , for we all can contribute , and we each have responsibilities.

  • Goal 1: By 2030 we will eradicate extreme poverty and reduce relative poverty through inclusive growth and decent work.
  • Goal 2: By 2030 we will eradicate hunger, halve stunting, and ensure universal access to sustainable food, water and sanitation.
  • Goal 3: By 2030 we will end preventable child and maternal mortality and provide healthcare for all.
  • Goal 4: By 2030 we will ensure all children receive a good-quality education and have good learning outcomes.
  • Goal 5: By 2030 we will ensure all children live a life free from all forms of violence, are protected in conflict and thrive in a safe family environment.
  • Goal 6: By 2030 governance will be more open, accountable and inclusive.
  • Goal 7: By 2030 we will have robust global partnerships for more and effective use of financial resources.
  • Goal 8: By 2030 we will build disaster-resilient societies.
  • Goal 9: By 2030 we will have a sustainable, healthy and resilient environment for all.
  • Goal 10: By 2030 we will deliver sustainable energy to all.

    1. Elizabeth,

      Thank you for sharing the great information about these three organizations. The International Step by Step Association sounds the most intriguing to me! What a great idea to connect educators and leaders in the early childhood field together! I think that might be an organization that I would like to join!

      I also visited the Save the Children site. Their goals are amazing. They have several job opportunities, but most involve previous experience overseas.

      Thank you again for sharing these wonderful resources!
