The next site that caught my attention was Save the Children. I personally feel that at any chance children didn't ask to be here but since that are the joy of our lives we should be able to allow them all the opportunites in the world to be successful. This is more of a 3rd world site so the had similar characteristics as the United Nations Childrens Fund. What I like about this site is that they give you an opportunity to save a child life so that they can have a chance. I really didn't look for any job opportunities with this site because the site alone help my interest.

My third and final site International Step by Step Association. One thing that got me with this website was the philosophy of the organization.
ISSA promotes open society values in education and society, equal access to
quality education for all children, strong family involvement, and community
participation to help every child reach his or her full potential. We believe
that children learn best when they are active participants in the learning
process. ISSA’s programs encourages children to express their ideas creatively,
to help one another, to develop critical thinking skills and to practice
responsible living by learning to make choices. We recognize that each child is
unique and seek to meet his or her individual educational needs in the
classroom. We build on the principle that parents are the primary educators of children
and we strive for active parent participation and community involvement in the
education process. ISSA aims to encourage democratic ideas and principles and
actions within young children and their families. These principles are crucial
to developing a life long love of learning, which engenders success in an open
and free society. I feel that the philosophy alone is saying alot of what they stand for and in a way I see my similar philosophy within theirs as for as the care and concern for the children. I like their whole concept on wanting to encourage children to express their ideas creatively and to develop critical thinking skills and to practice them. That is one thing we are not allowing our children to do today without putting some type of label on them like their bad or they have ADHD, or ADD, or etc. They had no job opportunities on this site.
