Completing this assignment I was interesting in learning more about the organization of "The National Black Child Development Institute", however the website did not offer a lot of current information. I also tried to search similar organizations but I did not have much luck. I will continue to keep checking back with NBCDI because I am very interested in learning more about their institute.
Due to the dated information posted on my first choice site, I decided to look into The National Head Start Association. This is a non profit organization that promotes success for the lives of our young children regardless of any circumstances (Why it Matters, 2015). As Dr. Grace mentioned in this week's multimedia video, Head Start does a fantastic job with partnering with their families and respecting their cultures (Laureate Education, 2011).
National Native Association Heritage (NNAH) celebrates in the month of November . In 2002 NNAH formed a Native American Fatherhood & Families Association. This association was created to "strengthen and keep families together by connecting parents to their cultural heritage and traditions, connecting with past generations in order to bring purpose and direction to future generations" (Tift, 2017, para.1). No matter what race or background we come from, our family and relationship surround our ancestors. It is very important to know our backgrounds to know were we headed. Being aware of this information will help our children know their cultural background. This will allow our children to feel loved and appreciated because they know of their past (Tift, 2017).
