I am so happy I was able to establish contact with Ankie from The Netherlands. She is a passionate educator, wife, and mother who continues to advocate for children although her personal life is very busy. She has become an inspiration and someone I can easily identify with.
Three consequences occurring as result of this experience, personally are as follows: the realization that similar early childhood issues are going on in other countries, the desire to learn more about different cultures and their programs in hopes to learn from it, and the positive, reassuring feeling that we are not alone and there are people everywhere dealing with, and fighting for the same issues we face daily.
My goal is to continue contact with Ankie and share thoughts and ideas regarding the education and well being of children. I would also like to establish new contacts in other countries to build a larger network of colleagues.
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI would also like to establish new contacts in other countries. It has been interesting learning about other countries through our blog assignments. I'll probably 'see' you in the next class...good luck!
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your international contact information; I have really enjoyed reading about Ankie and the educational system in the Netherlands. I think it's great to establish contacts with other people abroad because it gives us a different perspective on early childhood and the issues that they face. I wish you luck and hope that we will take another course together again.
Thanks,
Andrea
