You Share Save the Children’s Values

You believe, as we do, that every child deserves a future. Every last child.

The world has made great progress for children. More children are alive and thriving today than ever before.

But here's the problem. Millions of children in the U.S. and around the world still aren't getting what they deserve. We're talking about children in need. Dying, when the world knows how to save them. Vulnerable children in poverty. Denied an education. Forced to flee violence. Orphaned, abused, abandoned. Children with no reason to smile. No hope for the future.  Reference  (www.savethechildren.org)

    Hello Katrina,

    Save The Children is a great foundation that supports and provides many services to children and families. I am happy that we have a foundation as such in the United States and also in different countries. What I like most about The Save The Children Foundation is that the foundation has been working for over 100 years to give children a healthy life, protection from harm, and an opportunity to receive an education. Most families in poverty struggle and this foundation offers so much to children and families in poverty. I think it is awesome also that the foundation is helping children and families during the pandemic.

·          In what ways are school-age children assessed in other parts of the world? (Choose a country or region of the world for which you have a personal affinity.) My Country is China Title: Academic stress in Chinese schools and a proposed preventive intervention program           The authors suggested that while American educators fret about the mediocre educational performance of American students in international contests (e.g. the Program for International Student Assessment) and wonder why the Chinese education system produces such high-achieving students, educators, journalists, and public officials in China want to know what causes and how to prevent the high levels of academic stress that Chinese students, their families, and their school systems experience. They point the finger that the stress level has been directed to the Gaokao, the Chinese national college entrance exam that takes place in June each year. According to the article, they prepared a case for s

As I reflect upon a child's birth in the making, I would like to reflect upon my daughter's child birth. She was born 38 years ago in the afternoon and I had a small complication in delivering her because my female complications.  However, I was raised in the church. I had praying warriors speaking on my behalf.  Suddenly, my female organs began to work and I had her natural birth.  It was nothing but a miracle and a blessing. I am so thankful for my wonderful daughter. I chose this experience because it is very dear to my heart. I believe that any woman who can carry a child for 9 months and deliver that precious child is very blessed. Selected a country other than the US and tell about birth?  I selected Africa.
