Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

It was extremely hard for me to locate and establish contact with an international colleague concerning the Early Childhood field. I know that there are numerous resources available, but I was disappointed to not hear back from anyone or group I attempted to contact. I resorted to using the provided podcast from the World Forum Radio.

I will defiantly continue attempting to make contact with my resources across the world, but this week I fell short in my journey. I do have a possible colleague in Germany, Jenny Bonin, who runs an at home child care service and has three young children. I still need to find my second contact or use the provided forum/radio podcast.


I selected an organization that I felt was more universally involved and not positioned in just one country of area. Of the organizations and websites that were provided and researched I decided to go with was International Step by Step Association.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to gather more international contacts; it has been hard for me to find my second resource/contact. I was able to connect with my my first contact through my sister, but as far as reaching outside of personal sources it has be extremely difficult.
