Tragedies such as the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan reminds us that we are part of a larger world. I know that we have many DEC members and colleagues in the EI, ECSE, and ECE fields who have personal and professional connections to the international communities most recently affected by war and tragedies including recent ones in New Zealand, Japan, Libya, Egypt, and many more.
While the majority of our membership are based in the US, the reach of our work goes beyond our country's borders.
As an international organization, we recognize the impact these tragic situations have on our members but most importantly on young children and families living in these communities. In your own small way, I encourage you to lend a hand and show your support for our colleagues, friends, and families most affected by these tragedies.
