Chiquela,
You have chosen great organizations. They each do so much for children. It is hard for me to fathom that with all the organizations fighting for the health, safety and education of young children that we are still having to fight so hard to be heard.
Thanks for your post.

Chiquela,
I believe you found a great career opportunity for someone interested in international advocacy. The Campaign and Advocacy Strategy Director for Save the Children sounds like a position that would require a great deal of passion for the field on an international level. I believe this person would also need to be a great leader who can inspire others to want to advocate for young children. Thanks for sharing!
