Children's Defense Fund

http://www.childrensdefense.org/index-1.html

I have chosen to follow the Children's Defense Fund because this organization aims to help every child begin their life in the best possible way. They help to promote healthy starts in life and appropriate teaching, health and a safe, positive pathway to adulthood. The focus of this organization is children and creating resources for anyone who is interested in helping children receive a positive upbringing. The ideas, campaigns, programs and resource create positive examples of how children can be helped and nurtured. I am so impressed by the numerous campaigns and programs they have worked on throughout the years. This organization is headed by very strong individual who all have a personal connection to children. This organization is successful because they put children first in order to help them and guide them throughout their lives.

I have subscribe to their monthly newsletter and so far I have read the current one along with a few archive ones. Currently, they are very concerns with their "Protect Children, No Guns" because of all the gun violence that occurs every 30 minutes. In the media recently has been the bill that Congress has failed to pass making guns more strict. This failure has upset this organization so much that they are doing whatever they can to persuade lawmakers to do the right thing. It is an ongoing fight that they intend to upkeep. They want children to be protected and cared for. Guns are a big priority and they would like to eliminate any violence that occurs to children with at least trying to lessen or remove the harm of guns.

After reading about the organization concern about guns, it hard for me to believe that they are the only ones fighting this battle. When other organizations start to bully Congress, hopefully we can have a better outcome. Children are being lost all over the world due to gun violence, if we can help prevent some loss, why wouldn't we do the right things. The dedication CDF shows to children is amazing and I am glad their are so many organizations out their that are here to help children have a better life.

Changing Demographics and Diversity is all over this websites, they have written many articles in theri newsletter aboout populations shifts, wages and salaries that affect our children. They deal with current issues that affect children. Some old newsletters, showed different surveys and records that have been tallied to see hwo children are doing when placed in different situation from birth to school-age. They provided lots of information for anyone to look up. 

Currently at this point, I have not made any professional connections, but I am still hopeful that someone will contact me soon!
