Establishing Profressional Contacts

This week for class we were ask to establish a professional contact outside the United States.  I choose the following people to reach out to:


Federal Republic of Nigeria
Niger Delta Academic Foundation
Daniel Ibigoni Semeniworima, Director/CEO
Ajoke International School
Mrs.Bimbo Are
New Jericho G.R.A.
P.O.Box 679, Dugbe, Ibadan
Nigeria
Tel: 080-23236933
Email: arebimbo@yahoo.com

HaitiStep by Step Program / Tipa Tipa
Dominique Hudicourt
Email: tipatipa@hainet.net

I pick this to because I am interested in the cultural and the educational styles.  I believe I can learn a lot about them and can grow as an Early Childhood Professional.   I sent both contacts an email.  Here is the email I sent to each. 

My name is Sherry Saunders and I am currently studying to get my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education.  I am taking a class which requires me to establish an international contact.  I would was wondering if you could be that person for me. 

Thank you for your time and consideration with this matter.  I am looking forward to getting to know you and learning about you and your country's Early Childhood Programs.

 

I have yet to receive a response but before go to the alternative to Part 1 I have pick two more contacts to reach out to.  The two that I pick are:

 

Canada
OMEP Comité national canadien
Canadian Child Care Federation
Senior Consultant Robin McMillan
ext. 239
rmcmillan@cccf-fcsge.ca

RomaniaStep by Step Centre for Education and Professional Development
Carmin Lica
Email: carmenlia@dnt.ro

I have also sent them emails and I am waiting on a response. 

Part 2 Expanding Resources

I pick :

NBCDI
National Black Child Development Institue
http://www.nbcdi.org/who-we-are/who-we-are

The reason I pick this site is I feel being an African American I can never learn to much about the development and teaching of Black Children.  I am currently expecting my first child and I feel this site can help me with that as well. 

I would love to know how everyone else is doing with their contacts.  The only tip I have is try more than two contacts and hopefully someone will reach back out to you.  Good Luck in class everyone.
