Having professional
contacts is very important for anyone, so to have professional contacts that
share the same interests in another country is even better.  I have attempted to contact a few
professionals from The Global Alliance of NAEYC and UNICEF.  Time will only tell if I will be able to move
forward with my contacts, but I am hopeful. 
I chose two
organizations that I have used for references before and are familiar with what
their organization stands for.  I have
attached a few more organizations that are well worth the reading to assist
with networking.  
The Global Alliance of NAEYC has e-mail addresses for early childhood professionals worldwide:

UNICEF has local organizations and representatives worldwide. Check out
the country specific links and contact a local representative:

Hello Crissy, looks as if you had good luck establishing professional contacts. I hope you will be able to move forward with your contacts.
ReplyDeleteSheena, I wish I had better news. I just checked my email and I had one contact to have an undeliverable message. But I will just move onto another contact. Thinking positive!
ReplyDeleteUNICEF is a very important organization. They cover so many bases in many countries dealing with children. Thank you for providing more resources of wonderful organizations. I plan on researching them further, and gaining more information from them.
ReplyDeleteHello Crissy,
ReplyDeleteI hope the best for you and your contacts. Thank you for the advice/links, perhaps if I have trouble reaching my contacts I may look to these other contacts. I look forward to hearing about the early childhood fields from your posts.
