International Connections

There are several positive consequences, both professional and personal, that came from talking and connecting with my international colleagues.  One is that I learn about a different country.  I can actually talk to and hear from someone that over there right now, living and working with children, and can tell me how they are working to improve children's lives in their country.  Another positive outcome is that I get to meet someone new, someone with the same goals and passion that I have.

I would like to have an international organization for children and families that can really help to change how we support and take care of our children.  Many countries have support systems for healthcare and single parents and other types of programs that are really truly helpful, and if we could not only just listen and learn about these programs, but also find a way to implement them here in the US, that would be progress.
