Getting to know your International Part 1 Boozer 1

I had to do the website of the childhood Poverty Research Policy Centre's http://www.childhoodpoverty.org/.
My research I looked into Identifying the "Bottom Billion:  Beyond National Averages Multidimensional poverty:  Enriching methadologies of measurement & policy.

Multidimensional poverty measures enable us to  identify who is poor, how poor they are, and what policies will most effectively eradicate their poverty.  This note has shown the importance of creating poverty measures that can be disaggreated in different ways:  by subnational region and even down to the individual level.

Geography of poverty is changing and increasingly large number of the world's poor are living in Middle Income Countries.  MPI is a direct measure of poverty and can be easily compared across subnational regions and indeed across individuals living indifferent countries.  MPI uses the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys( DHS).

The multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is a measure of acute multidimensional poverty published in the UNDP Human Development Reports for over 100 developing countries since 2010.  Developed- Three Dimensions of Poverty  are Healthy, Education, Living Standard.

The organization that I  choose was National Black Child Development Institute and the link for them is:
http://nbcdi.org/

National Black Child Development Institute(NBCDI) "focus is on achieving positive outcomes for vulnerable children who suffer from the legacies of poverty and racial discrimination.  The organization was launched by the Black Women's Community Development Foundation, whose leadership in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement, was deeply concerned about the unsatisfactory  , conditions faced by families determined to raise healthy black children, by organizing NBCDI as a national advocacy group, they created a unified movement to develop strategies to improve the life circumstances of the Black Child through policy change."

I have also learned that "for 38 years, NBCDI was led by Evelyn K. Moore who got her start as a teacher in the ground breaking Perry Pre-School/High Scope Program, which became the model for Head Start.  She has dedicated her entire professional career to improving out comes for our society's most vulnerable children.  Her leadership was followed by that if renowned  early childhood educator, writer and leader, Carol Brunson Day who led NBCDI from 2007 to 2011.  NBCDI's current resident and CEO is DR. Felicia DeHaney."

NBCDI'S future is about growth and sustain ability, forging new boundaries and promoting strengths based programs and policies that lift up our children in the context of their families, communities and cultures.  
Quote from Evelyn K.Moore,NBCDI President Emeritus, 1972 said that "Quality programes for black children must incorporate factors that ensure esteem and respect for one self and one's hertiage."

Getting Ready-Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources Assignment week 1 Boozer Y.

With my contacts I have tried to reach out to them through writing an email to them and giving them my email address and  my blog address.  I am still waiting to here back from them.It could be a time difference.  At first I did not understand the assignment and it took me awhile to get the understanding of what I was suppose to do.  I found that the first email that I tried came back with a message that it was not a good email.  So I changed to some one different and both of the emails I sent went through.  Right now I am hoping that I will not have to use the alternate route.
   
      The organization that I chose to study is the  National Black Child Development Institute.  I chose this one because I am always interested in information about black children because we are treated a little different, and society try to make black children seem like they do not know much about anything. But we do know and we know a lot.   This study will also help me to understand critical and timely issues that directly impact black children and their families.
