Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI).
The mission of the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI) is to promote and support the optimal education, development, and well- being of children and youth world-wide. They have several publications which include Journal of Research in Childhood Education, Childhood explorer and The Early Childhood Bulletin. The Global Summit on Childhood, a program within the Decade for Childhood, provides a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue among the global community about the experience of childhood. The 2016 Global Summit on Childhood brings together individuals from around the world and across disciplines to explore the role of childhood in ensuring a positive human future during a time of rapid change. This will be held in Costa Rica from March 30 - April 3, 2016. This organization interests me because it is all about making a better world for our children. ACEI believe all children should be educated in environments of fairness where there if freedom from bias or favoritism, and where access to and participation in educational experiences are the cornerstone of the home, school, and community. There are internships and volunteer opportunities:
SAVE THE CHILDREN (STC)
Save the Children invests in children. In the United States and around the world, they give children a healthy start, the opportunity to learn, and protection from harm. STC believes that by transforming children's lives now, we change the course of their future and ours. Since 1919, STC has been fighting for the rights of children—literally saving their lives and giving them hope for the future. In 2014, STC helped over 166 million children worldwide. STC provide services to children that include the provision of food, drilling or water wells, education, shelter, safetly, and everyday essentials. There are many philonthpoic pratners and corporate partnerships. Anyone can donate to this noble cause. 89% of funds are spent on programs and services for children and families in need. You can meet some of the children helped via the websites success stories: http://www.savethechildren.org/site/c.8rKLIXMGIpI4E/b.8846439/k.AF1D/Success_Stories.htm

UNICEF
UNICEF stands for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, or United Nations Children's Fund. UNICEF is a non-profit international organization and one of the largest development agencies dedicated to working exclusively with children to eliminate hunger and disease.
Thousands of children under the age of five die every day due to the lack of proper nutrition, safe drinking water, affordable vaccines and other basic necessities that most people in the U.S. take for granted. “UNICEF's lifesaving interventions and programs around the world have helped reduce the number of child deaths by nearly 50% since 1990, and yet 18,000 children still die every day from preventable causes. UNICEF helped immunize 38% of the world's children in 2013.”
UNICEF has offices all over the world. In New York, the office is located at the United Nations. I would love to volunteer or work at UNICEF because this organization brings people together from all walks of life for the common goal of helping children. The U.S. Fund for UNICEFs is seeking talented individuals to join their fight for child survival in various areas. They have online job application.

Great blog entry this week. I would love to find an international job at some point in my life, and Unicef would be a place I would be proud to work!
