I have to say that this program has been the most interesting and informative program and I am glad that I chose to take these courses. Though out this program I have learned many interesting things, a few where how to become a good director and the characteristics of a good director. I also learned the many issues that an early childhood program can face and the different strategies that one can put together in order for their program to work. The most important thing that I think I have learned from this program is the importance of relationships. Building a relationship with the families, the stakeholders, and the individuals that you work with and for are what makes a program run smoothly.
A long term goal that I have for myself would be to become a program director and to make a families life better in anyway that I can. I would like to ensure that the families that I will be working for will have every opportunity possible for them to make a better life not only for themselves, but for their children as well.
To my colleagues it has been a pleasure reading and learning about your goals and the things that you would like to accomplish by taking this program. I have enjoyed reading your discussion boards and your feedback, I hope that you all accomplish what you have set out to do. Good luck to you all and thank you!

ECE Community Internationally
The first organization that I am interested in is UNICEF. UNICEF is an organization that helps build a world where children's rights are realized. UNICEF nurtures and cares for children, in which they believe that when children are cared for they progress. They are advocates for children and they believe in giving children the best start in life, because giving them the best start ensures that they may have a more promising future. UNICEF involves everyone in creating a positive and protective environment for children. UNICEF offers a number of things that will help children be the best that they can be.
The second organization I am interested in is Save the Children. This is an independent organization that creates lasting change in the lives of children across the world. This organization not only helps children but it also helps the families of those children. When there is a disaster Save the Children takes action and provides medical care, food, and education. They are there to provide long-term help with poverty, hunger, and illiteracy, they replace hopelessness with hope for the future.
The last organization is the ISSA, which is an organization that aims to ensure equal access to quality care and education for children. This organization basically promotes high-quality services that will not only empower the child, but their parents as well. This organization wants to build a strong network of individuals' that will be there to help the child reach there full potential.
The reason why I chose these three organizations is because they not only focus on children, but they focus on helping their families as well. If you are not helping the families of these children as well then the children will not have a far change to succeed in life or whatever they are wanting to do.
