Since the 1800's, the Association for Childhood Education International is an organization that focus on educational rights for children.
"Association members were well known for their concern for children worldwide who were
living in conditions of poverty or facing other challenging circumstances, such as
discrimination, war, and hunger" (ACEI.org).
They are advocates for not only children but teachers and families too.They highly influence the professional growth of educators, they focus on the efforts of those who are committed to the needs of children in a changing society. There website provides, global news, resources for teachers, advocacy and events, global resources, net working and so on.
Love Me, Teach Me is one of the few campaigns that attracted my attention. As Educators, our primary focus is to meet the overall well-being of the child. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn regardless of what nation they are from.
"All sectors—social, political, and economic—must work to ensure that all children are visible members of
their society, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, ability, family status, or
national origin" (ACEI.org).
It is through the succes of the Global Campaign for Education that 40 million children have been able to receive an education.

Wow...they have been around for a long time! I love the name Love Me, Teach Me! Do you know how they reach these children? Do they work through schools?
