Week 4 Website

The website I have been studying is The Children's Defense Fund, http://www.childrensdefense.org. I have really learned from this website that there are many people that are out there doing a lot for children and are not looking for anything in return. I learn that people are helping just because of their love for children. One thing that I found controversial is that the website stated that the new poverty numbers came out and children are still the poorest in the country. That bothers me because these children did not ask to come into this world, we just had a lot of irresponsible parents that gave birth and knew they were not capable of providing for their children. The part that always stands out to me is the mission statement “The Children's Defense Fund Leave No Child Behind^® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.”

Child poverty and social protection

I have not received a response yet on my childhood professional so I view the alternate website. This website has a lot of useful information about childhood poverty. This website is trying to figure out why are there so many children living in poverty. This website also has a section where you can donate so if you can please help these children in need. Also I read about children affected by HIV from there infected mothers. This newsletter talked about a mother did not get prenatal care, which could have help the child, but since she did not get the care the child was born positive.

The website I chose to explore is: http://www.worldforumfoundation.org. The first step I took to communicating with a professional was join the website for Free to engage in the discussion. Then after joining I looked at discussions from professionals from other countries and I commented on their discussions.

One of the professionals was Maya Nayo from the Philippines,
