Week 4 Sharing Web Resources


          The organization I have been focusing in on is “Save the Children” and I received a newsletter article titled Hear it From the Teachers Getting Refugee Children Back to Learning.  I learned that over 4 million refugee children are out of school and missing on education.  The article also focused on the importance of making sure that refugee children that are starting to get an education receive high quality education from teachers.  So, investing in teachers should be the highest priority.  As teachers were interviewed that are supporting refugee children, they emphasize the importance of educating refugee children: Education is a refugee child’s right and should be prioritized; Education helps refugee children cope and hope in their new environments; Education will improve their futures; and Ensuring refugee children are educated will help bring peace and stability.  It was great to learn that even when refugee children have gone through so much, they still want to obtain an education and they still have an ambition and hope to a brighter future. 
            What I found a bit disheartening in this article that was published that there was not mention of how economist or politicians support the education for refugee children. I wish I would have read that that everyone is on board wanting to better the life of these refugee children.  I do have to say that just within this article I did not find the support of important people that could really make a difference however Save the Children partners with many different businesses that support families and children.
