To begin with I have received an e-mail from The Global Fund, it was a request to verify my e-mail address not a newsletter. However, I take that as a positive sign that I may just receive some correspondence before this class is completed. This week I ventured into the Get Involved tab on The Global Fund For Children site (The Global Fund For Children, 2014). I expected to see an address where I could send money and what I found was a list of jobs & internships. It just so happens that The Global Fund currently has an opening for a Program Officer in East and Southeast Asia and a Foundation and Corporate Development Officer. What an amazing opportunity for just the right person!
I am certain that I have mentioned The Global Fund's blog before but, I just really need to mention it again. If you haven't already please visit and I recommend adding it to your blog. I enjoy it because they post stories of things that are happening currently And what is being done to help address the issues. Every time I go to this site I am reminded of great we have things here in America compared to many other countries. I feel that the word inequity only scratches the surface on beginning to describe the hardship and tragedy that goes on. One of the articles was actually a photo story. It was short and to the point, but very meaningful and affective. Healing Through Dance At Kolkata Sanved (The Global Fund for Children, 2014), describes the positive outcome of women learning to become dance trainers. Women are trained to teach dance as a therapy for women and girls that have suffered abuse and used in sex traffic ring. The comments that go along with the photos are the actual comments of young women that have attended the Dance School of Kolkata Sanved.

Jennifer- I comp. agree with you. Our issues in the United States are nothing in comparison with other countries. There are so many ways to help enlighten and educate women to help them have better lives, which in turn will only help their children. What an interesting idea, to help women become dance teachers.
