My international contact is from South Africa and it is known as the Centre of Early childhood Development. I have weekly contact with my contact whom asked me to refer to the organization versus using one's name. The Centre in South Africa does the following according to my person of contact:
aim to do this by improving the early childhood development (ECD) services in
South Africa through training, support and advice in the field of early
childhood development. We offer courses and programmes aimed at enhancing
individual and organisational capacity; develop and disseminate resources; and
carry out research specifically related to the African context. Based in Cape
Town, South Africa we offer services and programmes country wide, increasing the
effectiveness and efficiency of early childhood development provision to all
South Africa's children. The Centre works with early childhood development
practitioners in community-based projects whose focus is programmes for children
aged 0-6 years old and who operate in areas of the greatest neglect and
poverty. Our geographic area of operation covers projects in urban, semi-urban
and rural areas across South Africa. The majority of our trainees are South
African women.
There is still much to learn and I am definitely enjoying the process of learning how others do things in a different part of the world.
