The name of the organization I selected is the Association for Childhood Education International website. This organization focuses on providing quality education, living, well-being and promoting the rights of children. A primary focus is to improve living conditions and to make sure that all children have a good quality of life by lobbying for laws, improving quality care from educators and those that provide services to children. The specific article was retrieved from, http://www.acei.org/global-news/urbanization-and-meeting-the-needs-of-children.html

One current issue that caught my attention was the article retrieved form the Association for Childhood Education International website. The report was on children living in a more urban world while some are advantaged and some will live in more poverty with less adequate living conditions. As stated by UNICEF, “ cities and towns have generally lacked the capacity and infrastructure to keep up with rapid growth; as a result, the disparity between those who have access to urban advantages and those living in poverty is increasing” (State of the World’s Children, 2012. P.1). This is important because many children will lack developmentally in many areas because of poor living conditions, environmental hazards and more. As an early childhood professional it impacts the children in the classroom and how to help children in spite of these issues becomes a concern.

In conclusion, I learned that this is an awesome website. There were many articles concerning children throughout the website. I definitely will use this website for future reference. As a professional, this website provides information from issues affecting children to ways that professionals can improve their personal and professional development.
