I have tried to contact the Regional Vice President for Africa Mrs. Abimbola  ARE  by e-mail with an introduction of myself and my reason for contacting her. I have not received a reply from her at this time.  I have also tried to contact Mr. Eric Atmore of The National Early Childhood Development Alliance by e-mail also I have not received a reply from him.


Expanding Resources

I chose National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER) and Harlem Children's Zone. I chose these two organizations by reviewing all the websites presented in our resources. I analyzed which I was most interested and would help make me a better educator. I read the mission and the history of the organizations. I also reviewed if the sites were user friendly.

    These sites are new to me. I wonder why no one can get in touch with these people of these different organizations! They must be very busy.

    Thank you for sharing some of the info from these sites. I like that you thought to check if the websites were user friendly (something I didn't think about). I am eager to learn about the information you share from the sites as well.
