The Harvard University’s “Global Children’s Initiative” Website

The Harvard University’s “Global Children’s Initiative” website located at http://developingchild.harvard.edu/about/what-we-do/global-work offers information and resources to support children internationally. By exploring this organization’s website, I gained three new insights:

1.     I learned the mission of the organization (The mission of the Center on the Developing Child is to drive science-based innovation that achieves breakthrough outcomes for children facing adversity).

2.    I learned that research and practice is the framework for what they do (The Center’s diverse activities align around building an R&D (research and development) platform for science-based innovation, and transforming the policy and practice landscape that supports and even demands change).

3.    I learned that their work is not just within the United States, but is all around the world (Together with partner organizations on the ground, the Center promotes innovation in Brazil, Canada, and Mexico, as well as across a broader international platform).

Additionally, I found information about issues of equity and excellence. What I found is quite simple, but powerful. The Harvard University’s “Global Children’s Initiative” does not specifically work to support a specific group of children. Their work is global. They work to provide positive results for all children around the world.
