Continuing my research on the Save the Children website, there are multiple statistics about how mothers, children, and families are not receiving the help they need because of the Coronavirus pandemic. These are unprecedented times for everyone right now, and we are all proceeding into uncharted territory. With help from Save the Children, many countries are able to help their residents with food and shelter and protection from other diseases besides Coronavirus.
Additionally, Save the Children advocates for the 2.3 billion children in the world and offers help when needed during disasters and relief efforts. "U.S. policymakers look to Save the Children as the leading expert on childhood, both here at home and abroad." (Save the Children, 2020)

Thank you for sharing these resources. Being able to provide help during the restrictive guidelines for diminishing the spread of the virus certainly imposes more barriers. It may be that the services provided, particularly for the Yemen community have been thwarted by the civil unrest in areas. Yemen is certainly on the verge of famine as a nation, but famine conditions are already being experienced by many. Thank you for the inclusion.
ReplyDeleteHi Leanne, thank you so much for sharing your resources on how different parts of the world are educating their communities on how to protect themselves from the pandemic. Knowledge, resources, and tools are the key to better help and prevention of spreading the virus. It is important that underdeveloped nations and communities who are not as lucky as us with the technology or devices to attain worldwide news and doctors to help with questions get a chance and opportunity to ask their questions and make sure that they are taking proper procedures to stay healthy.
