               The Save the Children Organization “The only international language in the world is a child’s cry,” said Eglantyne Jebb. Eglantyne Jebb is the founder of Save the Children she was a social crusader in 1919. Jebb was arrested in London’s Trafalgar Square for passing out pamphlets “A Starving Baby” with the picture of a malnourished Austrian child. Along with her sister, Dorothy they held a Famine Council meeting at the Royal Albert Hall during this time. She asked for forgiving for her indiscretion, she held up a tin of condensed milk. Stated “There is more practical morality in this tin, than in all creeds." With that declaration, a spontaneous collection was taken up around the hall and the Save the Children Fund was born. I chose this organization because it was founded by a woman who had a heart for children. Eglantyne Jebb had encouraged me to become a sponsor to save the children today Feed the Children is operated by Larry and Francis Jones.

National WIC Association means women, infants, and children this program is for low- income pregnant and post- part women, infants, and children up to the age of 5. WIC is a public health nutrition program under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The WIC program is funded by annually by the U.S. Senate and House Appropriates Committee. In 1972 WIC was founded for pregnant mothers, infants, and children; in 1974 WIC was opened in Kentucky; 1974 WIC was operating in 45 States; in 1975 WIC was established as a permanent Program by Legislation P.L. 94- 105. I chose this organization because WIC has come through for my daughter and has saved so many young children lives. Because you never know what is in a child’s environment after he leaves your present.

I went back home to Mississippi to look for a job and a place for me to live. I wanted the position I wanted was a teacher into preschool the classroom. But the boss said that they were not hiring at this time. There is a shortage on finding jobs in Mississippi and Arkansas. I would like to move back home to be with my families and work at the Head start center in Columbus, Mississippi.

I would need my bachelor degree and experience in working with children and have a heart for young children. To be willingly chance and not to be afraid to speak my mind. To watched out for my children. Because it’s all about the children.
