Look for programs and organizations that aid early childhood education. Find one program (each) that helps
- the global community
- our local community.
Tell me
- the name
- what they do
- who they are aiding and how
- the service opportunities they offer
- the link to their website
- For local programs, also include the name and contact info of the program director.
For example, you might find a charity that sends books and school supplies to children in impoverished countries and also know of a program that your local library does for young children.
