The World Forum Foundation
provides communication through podcasts about poverty, education, and early
childhood education. I have been
listening to the podcasts over the week, I have learned about poverty issues in
other countries. I was amazed to learn
that poverty was an issue in thriving countries like India and the United
States. It was also interesting to learn
that many of the researchers from the United States bring programs back from
other countries that have been effective in reducing the effects of poverty on
education.

Amy,
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoyiing the podcasts, also. It is an interesting way to learn what is going on internationally. You mentioned bringing programs from overseas to the states. Susan Lyon's podcast shared how she brough The Hundred Languages of Children exhibit from Reggio Emilia, Italy to develop Reggio programs in San Francisco. One of the programs, the Presidio Children's Development Center now serves the poor in the area (http://www.worldforumfoundation.org/wf/radio.php).
