Getting to Know a International Contact - Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Center

I have not yet received a response from an early childcare education professional from outside of a different country so I have deicide to do the alternative assignment . I have visited the Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Center's Website to read about childhood poverty in different parts of the world. Their case studies in countries other than the United States gives valuable information on how families and children are living in areas like China, India, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia. For example, a study done in India shows that children  must work to help out themselves and their families to fight against poverty and to treat illness. The family cannot afford to send most children to get an education. They sacrifice schooling to live better. This to me makes poverty into a constant cycle from generation to generation. The site has links to many childhood poverty issues / research entities as well anti-poverty campaigns. It also shares various links to organizations that speak about  children's right and issues worldwide.

This Poverty Research and Policy Center has publications that are not only written in the English language. They include other languages. I find this helpful and respectful as it is useful to many others who can use this site. From various other international websites that I have encountered in the past, this is the first time I come across this detail. It is a great reminder that poverty  is an issue that affects children all over the world as it is a human struggle, not a certain racial struggle.
