Research Around the World

I chose to explore the Early Childhood Development Virtual University (ECDVU) Sub-Saharran Africa (SSA). This web page was loaded with information on early childhood. I was surprise to know that some of the articles concerns were related to ours concerns here in the United States. These articles all have early childhood at heart. There were articles with facts about the concern for a child’s early years of learning, children with disabilities and there were concerns about the teacher’s salaries as well. What was surprising to me was the websites design by students. These students had a passion for early childhood and researching. It was clear that these students were trying to make a difference in the environment in which they live. One of the articles I read really touched my heart: “Strengthening the Capacity of Grandparents in Providing Care to Children Less than 8 Years Old Affected by HIV/AIDS”. This article brought tears to my eyes, just thinking about the life these children will have ahead of them. However, I enjoyed reading a lot of the other articles and it was good to know that researchers across the world are working together to collect data to make a difference in the lives of young children.
