 I chose Save the Children because they invest in childhood – every day, in times of crisis and for the future of our next generation. Children of all culture deserve a healthy start and they should be given the opportunity to learn and grow to their greatest potential.

I chose UNESCO because their goal is to assist with the building of peace. There are so many countries that are having difficulties and this organization is design to assist with poverty through education, communication which leads to respect and human rights.

I chose UNICEF because it works with families and children with disabilities. It specifies that children with disabilities faces discrimination in the form of negative attitudes, lack of adequate policies and legislation (UNCEF.org). UNICEF vision is to build a world where every child can grow up healthy, protected from harm and educated, so they can reach their full potential (UNCEF.org). These are all important goals and relate to my challenge for this class.
