we invite you to take part in creation of a website dedicated to the
issues of orphan children around the world. The goal of this project
is to create an online arena for the advocacy of orphans as well as a
portal for information sharing and networking between American and
international organizations.
We hope that the website will accomplish the following objectives:
1. Bridge the gap between research and the public knowledge about
various topics pertaining to early childhood, institutional rearing,
and issues of adoption (e.g.development in early childhood, attachment
theory, adoptive identity issues, non-parental childcare policies,
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome to name a few). We invite EP students to join
us in writing focused reviews on one of these and other related
topics. If you have a paper you have already written that you want
published on our website, please be in touch with us!
2.Create public awareness and activism
3. Create fundraising opportunities
4. Post contact information for NGOs and orphanages
5. Give voice to adoptive families. We hope to have an Ask the Expert
column where parents' questions will be answered by our experts. We
invite faculty and alums to be our expert of the month.
The audience of this website includes:
- organizations working with orphans
- volunteers looking for project ideas
- students
- adoptive parents
This project was supported by the Tufts Civic Engagement Fund and aims
to engage students in active citizenship work.
No long-term commitment is required. Any time you can give will be
highly appreciated.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Maryna Vashchenko, Iris Ponte, Yibing Li and Dmytro Say
