economic, and law benefits of the Early/Head Start programs of helping children with families in the community around the world and how do they do things.This is a good resource for the community to learn thorough out the world. The website name is http://www.nhsa.org//

Getting to Know Your International Contacts-Part 1

In the Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Centre the poverty in the country in Mexico had a lot
of issues. The three insights I gained from this website is how poverty effects low income families when the woman are pregnant, food,and the climate change of the weather. If the women do not get the medical attention that is needed they have a high risk of still-births. In the country of Mexico with the poverty issues they have a lot of still-births when women become pregnant because they can not get the help they need and they do not have the resources like we do. The climate change of a temperature and the rainfalls have a lot to do with the crops growing for them to sell to make the money and it can affect people that have jobs and not able to work due to work.A household in Mexico  is considered to be capacity poor if its members cannot afford to cover their basic expenses on food, health and education, according to an officially defined basket. Finally, a household is considered to be in asset poverty if its members cannot cover their expenses of food, health, education, dressing, home and public transportation. This is the insights I gained from the poverty issues.

Sharing Web Resources

The newsletter that I subscribe was the National Head Start program. Even though I am

 a teacher in the Early Head Start program I wanted to know what is going on with the National

Head Start Programs around the world. Basically the programs are the same but they just

deal with different age groups. My concerns are the budget cuts that is happening

around the different states. In Durham, North Carolina which I am from we had a 120

slots available for children in the Early Head Start program. Ten percent of them children

they have to take is children with special needs. They took away 20 slots which was home based

programs. That was a disappointment to our teachers, parents, and the community.

            The newsletter caught my attention by how major the cuts are affected children, teachers

and families all around the world. The organization focus how can we prevent these budget cuts

and we can make it better for our families that are living in poverty. Congress believes that the

budget cuts are harmless and can be ignored. As teachers, educators, parents, legislative,

and the community we have to show congress how painful these cuts are in our own community.
