Getting to Know Your International Contacts Parts2

 

I review the Harvard University website this weeks. I look over all the different program that the organization was involved. The first one the peak my interest was the Apply the Science of Early Childhood in Brazil.  The collaboration with Global Children Initiative and Nucleo Ciencia Pela Infancia and also partner with David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies.  The project is aim to use the science of child health and development to guide stronger policies and larger investment to benefits young children and their families in Brazil. Next I found and article on the Zambian Early Childhood Project this article was very interesting.  I learn that Zambian Project focus on anti –malaria initiative. I also learned that there is not cure for malaria.  In Zambia the leading cause of death is malaria and HIV is other cause of death in Zambia among children under five.( Gunther Fink, 2011).   Also there is no vacancies for malaria.  The Zambia project of anti-malaria initiative had a positive effect on children under five the mortally rate have drop to 30 percent. That good sign that project is working in Zambia.

 After review this website I am interesting in finding out more information why there is not vacancies for malaria. I also interesting see how the partner with Brazil and the Global Children Initiative is working to better children and family in Brazil.
