Expanding Horizons and Expanding Resources

After reviewing "The Global Fund for Children" I believe that the resources made available to benefit children and families all over the world is an organization that all educators should be made aware of if they are not already. I reviewed "Saved the Children" as well however, I was engrossed in all that there is to learn about GFC. GFC is one of two recent organizations that I have joined. The second organization I joined was Nieer.
In making my decision on Nieer organization ( National Institute for Early Education Research)  to do further research on, I was deeply intrigued with the financial side of what factors effect funding for our children and educators. I worked in finance for over 15 years and a part of me feels like money will always whisper to me. It saddens me that with all the wealthy institutes all over the world in addition to the intelligent individuals we have in the world we have yet to devise a more effective system that financially meets the educational needs for our children and their future as well as adequate financial stability for educators.

Personal Childhood Web

I have such a long list of people who have made a great impact on my life as a child. My mother is 1 of 10 children and my father is 1 of 12. However, the five people I must name are my mom, my father, my granny, my little brother Kelvin and my English teacher Mrs. Wells. For my mothers' family I am the oldest grandchild. That is a interesting role to have. Everyone looks to you for your first everything. Everyone wants to show you so much and it has all been useful at some point in my life. My aunts and uncles on both sides taught me a great deal. If I were to sum it up I would say that it equated to love and happiness. I was given so much love and support and as I got older I got better with being able to demonstrate the same love and support. My happiness was genuinely their happiness. From cooking to fishing to picking cotton I got to experience the things I encountered in my life by my choice.
My granny was and is my nurse, my ear, my box of all things good.
My brother was my first responsibility and confidant. I value the bond that was created between he and I.
I can say that every teacher that I had growing up had a positive impact on my life as well. My English teacher Mrs. Wells more so as she had been around to teach a few of my aunts and uncles. From the moment she discovered who my family was it became an automatic expectation of hers that I set an example with the others around me in how to speak and carry oneself. This is still something I feel I carry with me today.
