Another organization I found appealing is International Step by Step Association. This community I found appealing because it is a group of people working internationally to empower each child to reach her or his unique potential and embrace values of social justice and equity (ISSA, n.d.). I think it is neat that there is a organization that supports all children and wants them all to reach their potential.
The final organization I found interesting was the United Nation's Child Fund (UNICEF). I have done some researching on UNICEF for previous classes, and I always found the organization interesting. It helps children throughout world going through crisis, and helping to make sure the children are getting their needs meet to insure their reach their full developmental potential (UNICEF, n.d.).
As far as jobs, I think working for UNICEF would be a great experience and an eye-opening experience. Looking at some of the job openings they have and where those openings are located, would be a neat experience. In order to take one of those positions, I think I would future need to develop my skills and knowledge related to the early childhood field, work on my communication skills, and end any personal biases I may have towards the group of people I could potentially be working with.

Abby, I enjoyed reading your post. After looking at UNICEF, I too think it would be a great organization to work for. Spending all of your life in a country that is as free as the United States can sometimes give you a false sense of what other places in the world may be like. However, working with an organization such as this one not only helps one to appreciate what you have and where you live, but also look to improve conditions where you live.
