Audrey,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing The Clinton Foundation/Clinton Global Initiative, their work allows us to see the importance of how partnerships and the need for committed staff and volunteerism can help us to achieve a greater impact on our outcomes together than if we work alone. In addition, it has allowed me to see that aside from our classrooms and programs we can be a part of contributing to a more just global community as well.

Audrey, I really enjoyed reading your blog and found the information you shared about each organization very helpful. I never really thought about expanding more outside my zone for job opportunities; however, I now find that some of these positions are obtainable. Have you ever thought of branching out into organizations such as these?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Audrey,
ReplyDeleteThe World Vision job appeals to me because of it is Christian based. The only part that is unfamiliar to me is the grants. I am not familiar with working with grants.
I liked the diversity present within your organizations. The Clinton Foundation/Clinton Global Initiatives not something that I had even considered when completing this assignment. It was a great idea to involve government and political aspects to this projects. So much of program development is a direct result of organizations such as this.
ReplyDeleteAudrey,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post about the Clinton foundation/Clinton Global initiative. I had not come across this international organization before and its interest in children’s obesity is of importance for my community since it was recognized of one of Americas largest cities back in 2010. I benefited from looking through this website. Thank you for sharing it.
