UNICEF is wonderful organization. They work toward building a
world where the rights of every child is realized. UNICEF works with others in
order to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a
child’s path. UNICEF advocates for measures to give children the best start in
life, because proper care at the youngest age forms the strongest foundation
for a person’s future (Unicef.org). For more information, you can visit their website at http://www.unicef.org/whatwedo/index.html.
One of the short term jobs that I found interesting is: A
consultant for peace building and child protection. The first requirement of
this job is to be passionate to make a lasting difference for children.
This person will be
hired for the documentation of good practices of Child Protection programming
related to peace building, Education and Advocacy in Conflict-Affected
Contexts.
I am not qualified for
this job because I don’t have ten years of experience in the design,
development, evaluation and implementation of child protection programs.
The
other second organization is save the children organization. The mission of
this organization is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats
children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. They focus
on the areas of child protection, child survival, education, health, and
nutrition, HIV and Aids, hunger and livelihoods, and emergency response.
The
job that I found is an emergency child protection advisor. The
Child Protection adviser is responsible for ensuring that quality programs are
initiated and capacities developed to provide these kinds of protection to
children in a range of Save the Children’s emergency responses world-wide. I
have most of the requirement s of this job but the only one that I am missing
is the experience in evaluating
child protection programs in emergency, transition and development contexts.
The International
Step by Step Association (ISSA) is an organization that
connects professionals and organizations working in the field of EC development
and education. ISSA promotes equal access to quality education and care for all
children, especially in the early years of their lives (ISSA website). It is a
great resource it helps professionals get so many information about strategies that
help them improve their teaching practice,
I didn’t see any available jobs at this organization.
