Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

I decided to contact early childhood professionals in Mexico and Nigeria. I looked at the resources that were given for the blog assignment. Those were the two that stood out to me. I have the desire to one day become fluent in Spanish so I chose to contact a professional in Mexico. I have always been intrigued by the cultures that exist in Africa so I chose to contact a Nigerian professional. However, I have not yet been able to get a response from the professionals. Therefore, I may have to choose the alternative resource.

I viewed the sites that were listed in the second part of the blog assignment. I was most interested in the National Black Child Development Institute's page. Being an African American, I want to learn more about early childhood programs that meet the needs of our young children in the Black communities. I look forward to learning more about this organization throughout the duration of this course.
