GLOBAL FUND FOR CHILDREN and NHSA

I chose this organization because it doesn't just focus on one country or one child but it benefits every child everywhere. The GFC works to advance the dignity of children worldwide. They pursue this mission by making small grants to innovative community-based organizations working with many of the world’s most vulnerable children, and by harnessing the power of children’s books, films, and documentary photography to promote global understanding.

I sent an e-mail on Thursday and I still have not recieved and reply. They also have a contact number which I called but I never spoke to anyone.


I also chose the National Head Start Association because I grew up in a head start program so I am trying to further educate myself on some of the things they focus on and to see if anything has changed since I was enrolled.

There mission:

NHSA Mission

Is to coalesce, inspire and support the Head Start field as a leader in early childhood development and education.
We are compelled to fulfill this mission by the promise of all the possible outcomes:
  • one powerful, united Head Start voice;
  • a collegial, collaborative Head Start field, one that is a valuable and valued partner and resource to early childhood development and education;
  • nonpartisan support of increased Federal commitment to Head Start and, ultimately
  • healthier, empowered children and families and stronger, more vibrant communities.
