"When a devastating
natural disaster occurs in some countries, the OMEP Executive Board takes
immediate actions to help the affected countries to rebuild the early education
and care programs, along with endeavor for the reduction of the disaster
impact. Those efforts mainly center on providing quality early education and
care (e.g., establishing early education and care centers, libraries, training
early education teachers, providing educational materials and nutritious meals,
etc.) in collaboration with other OMEP members and international NGOs such as
UN/UNICEF. However, the efforts often extends to revitalizing local communities
as a whole by participating in more community-wide comprehensive projects."
This organization began after World War II where the devastation from the war left Europe in shambles. A group of dedicated educators, took it upon themselves to rebuild early childhood systems so that no child would be left without an education due to the fights between men and governments.

Dear Emily,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing about the international organizations that stir you passion. I am glad that organizations like these exist to help education around the world. Their commitment to children’s development and education is evident not only through their current projects and programs, but also through their staff. As you mentioned, these organzaitions ask for people with proper accreditation and professional experience, thus overlooking for quality in their programs. I like the OMEP in particular because they strive to rebuild education in times of crisis. This is very important for children because even in times of distress they get the stability they cannot find in the environment around them.The Association for Childhood Education International is also a great one as it stimulates learning environments to provide the skills children need to tackle the challenges of everyday life. This is important because it provides the opportunity to every students to learn how to be rightful citizens and to adapt to the rapid changes in today’s society. Thanks again for sharing! :)
