I have been following The Global Fund for Children. I was interested in the Financial Times appeal that raised 4.89 million dollars to help children around the world. The thing that drew me to the GFC website is how they find grass root programs or people and support their efforts. Their efforts are things like getting children out of slavery and major survival issues.

I went to the link of the Financial Times and learned how they continued the the challenge of doing more with less money because of the economic times. One donor said it's easier to donate millions to one cause but the GFC has investigated people doing the work and support the small project with less money but the result are bigger. Some of the features were to make a big difference with a small grant. This makes it seem attainable to the average person.

This makes me think of the issues we have been discussing all week, providing the important early childhood education to all children, is such a big undertaking. Perhaps by government funds going to state we will be able to address the local needs first.
