It is extremely beneficial for professionals to communicate and be aware of what is happening in other parts of the world.  Not everything is the same on all parts of the world if we communicate with each other, we can share different ideas that we may not have thought of ourselves.  I wish I could have been able to speak to an individual, but unfortunately I was unable to.  I feel that this will be a great way to obtain information about other parts of the world.  I will continue to try to get in contact with other professionals from around the world.  I did learn things through other websites such as: UNICEF, The Global Children’s Initiative and the Harlem Children’s Zone.  No matter what country we are in, we all have common goals: the health/wellness of children and doing our best to ensure that children are on the right track to success.  I have learned that in some parts of the world, children are forced to start working years before they should in order to help support their families.  These children are missing out on many important aspects of school such as social interaction.  I learned ways of participating and donating to causes to help these children.  Children are my life and I would do anything to ensure that every child receives the education and care that they deserve.
