Shared Web Resources

UNICEF is the organization that I used originally when I tried to contact educational professionals from other countries. When searching through the website for other links, at the bottom of the page; I noticed there were nine countries that UNICEF did not make connections with. Curiosity got the best of me and initially I set out to find reasons why these countries were not helped by UNICEF. I was unable to solve that portion of the equation but I was as to find statistical information about all nine countries. The link stated that the information was from the year 2013. Along with normal poverty information, the link also provided early childhood information; such as attendance rates with male vs females, and rich vs poor educational statistics. Unfortunately, the link did not provide info about inequities; but when looking at the statistic numbers in each country, I'm very sure that each one has SEVERAL inequities, even the state of being in a poorer country as number 1! The nine countries are: Bahamas, Brunei, Darussalam, Cyprus, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Malta, Mauritius, Monaco, and Singapore. Even though UNICEF does not provide connections with the listed countries; I like the fact that they still have connections so that viewers are able to donate aid/relief/monies.
