Changing
demographics and diversity are changing the way educators, families and
children address education. This week’s lesson on demographics and diversity
pushed me to want to know more about the UNICEF. I decided to research the
UNICEF partly because of its name United Nations International Children's
Emergency Fund. I wanted to know more about the International aspect and learn
about the UNICEF, and what it means for all children. UNICEF believes in uplifting all children,
regardless of social class, race, gender, or any other discriminatory factor.
Diversity is huge aspect of education and educators must be open-minded to all
demographic s of students. The purpose
of UNICEF states, “We believe that nurturing and caring for children are the
cornerstones of human progress. UNICEF
was created with this purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the
obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s
path. We believe that we can, together,
advance the cause of humanity” (UNICEF). In some countries girls are not
afforded a right to education and with the help of the UNICEF, girls are
afforded the same education as boys.
UNICEF promotes diversity and over the next few weeks I want to learn
about all programs and resources provided by the UNICEF.
Sha'Keema, I enjoyed reading your post. It's good to know that we have organizations such as the UNICEF to ensure all children recieve a quality education regardless of their gender or whatever the case may be.
ReplyDeleteHello Sha’Keema,
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your post about UNICEF and the wonderful work the organization does on behalf of children “regardless of social class, race, gender, or any other discriminatory factor”. The United Nations and UNICEF exemplify the idea that when people peacefully unite their efforts, mountains can be moved such as changing peoples’ mentality on girls’ schooling in some countries. Whenever the UN and UNICEF are mentioned, I am filled with a feeling of hope because I am being reminded that people can come together for the greater good. I wish UNICEF were more advertised on TV for its mission and its humanitarian endeavors. I am grateful for your reminder on this UN organization dedicated to the well-being of all children.
