LIFE SKILLS OUR LIFE SKILLS PROGRAM EXPOSES CHILDREN TO MUSIC AND ART, STRENGTHENS LEADERSHIP SKILLS, ENHANCES DIGITAL ABILITIES AND MORE. EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING THE EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING PROGRAM TEACHES CHILDREN AND YOUTH HOW TO SELF-CARE, SELF-CALM AND IDENTIFY EMOTIONS. THE PROGRAM IS BASED ON CURRICULUM DEVELOPED BY TURNING POINTPART OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS HEALTH SYSTEM. LIVING IN POVERTY LEADS TO STRESS AND EMOTIONAL STRAIN, WHICH MAKES IT THAT MUCH HARDER TO BREAK OUT. THIS PROGRAM HELPS YOUNG PEOPLE BUILD VITAL LIFE SKILLS, SO THEY CAN STAY MENTALLY HEALTHY TO HELP THEM BREAK THE CYCLE OF GENERATIONAL POVERTY. 31607774 32019488 0 COMMUNITY CENTERS & CARING ADULTS CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL PROVIDES ITS MOST COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS WITHIN ITS COMMUNITY CENTERS. NEWER, STATE-OF-THE-ART, FACILITIES HAVE SPECIFIC YOUTH ROOMS AND AREAS, WHICH ARE SEPARATE FROM THE GATHERING SPACES FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN, TO ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION AND ENHANCE YOUTH ACTIVITIES. WHILE BUILDINGS ARE IMPORTANT, THEY AREN'T WHAT MAKE CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL'S PROGRAMS A SUCCESS; IT'S THE PEOPLE WHO INVEST IN THE CHILDREN AND YOUTH WHO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. LOCAL VOLUNTEERS CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL WOULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT ITS THOUSANDS OF VOLUNTEERS. GLOBALLY, MORE THAN 4,000 INDIVIDUALS VOLUNTEER IN SUPPORT OF CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL. THESE TRAINED VOLUNTEERS - TYPICALLY THE PARENTS OF SPONSORED CHILDREN AND YOUTH - CONDUCT FAMILY VISITS IN SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, ARE THE FIRST TO KNOW ABOUT LOCAL AND DOMESTIC SITUATIONS AND SERVE AS AN INVALUABLE CONDUIT OF INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE. IN THE PAST, VOLUNTEERS HAVE SUPPORTED CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL DURING NATURAL DISASTERS, UNREST AND OTHER DISRUPTIONS.THESE INDIVIDUALS ALSO SUPPORT PROGRAMMING THAT TEACHES CHILDREN AND YOUTH HOW TO ORGANIZE PROJECTS AND BE LEADERS. THEN, THESE DEDICATED ADULTS ENCOURAGE YOUTH TO GIVE BACK THROUGH TUTORING YOUNGER CHILDREN AND LEADING COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. PROFESSIONAL STAFF THE ORGANIZATION'S WORKFORCE IS COMPRISED OF IN-COUNTRY NATIONALS, INCLUDING DOCTORS, DENTISTS, NUTRITIONISTS, AGENCY DIRECTORS, TEACHERS AND LIBRARIANS. THESE PROFESSIONALS SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE AND DIALECT OF THE FAMILIES AND UNDERSTAND THE LOCAL CHALLENGES, CUSTOMS, LAWS AND SOCIAL NETWORKS OF THE COMMUNITIES WHERE OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVE. ALLIANCES AND PARTNERSHIPS COLLABORATION IS THE KEY TO COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE.

RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL DELIVERS A VARIETY OF COMMUNICATION TOOLS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH LIVING IN POVERTY AND THE SOLUTIONS CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL OFFERS. THESE TOOLS INCLUDE JOURNEYS MAGAZINE, DIGITAL NEWSLETTERS AND WHITE PAPERS, SPEAKING PRESENTATIONS, BLOG POSTS, EDUCATIONAL FLIERS/BROCHURES AND PRESS RELEASES. TOGETHER, THESE EFFORTS ARE DESIGNED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC AND RAISE AWARENESS OF THE IMPACT THAT EVEN ONE PERSON CAN HAVE IN HELPING TO LIFT THOSE IN NEED OUT OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES. TRANSFORMING SPONSORS' LIVES SPONSORSHIP IS FAR MORE THAN AN EFFECTIVE FUNDING MODEL. AT ITS CORE, SPONSORSHIP IS A SHARED EXPERIENCE BETWEEN AN INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTOR AND AN INDIVIDUAL BENEFICIARY. WHILE THE ORGANIZATION'S PROGRAMS FOCUS ON IMPROVING THE LIVES OF THOSE LIVING IN POVERTY, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL ALSO RECOGNIZES THE POSITIVE IMPACT THE RELATIONSHIP BRINGS TO THE CHILD IN THE FORM OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND FRIENDSHIP. CONTRIBUTORS ALSO REPORT INCREASING A SENSE OF PURPOSE AND FULFILLMENT.

CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL OFFERS ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT ITS MISSION AND VISION. DONORS HAVE THE OPTION TO FUND PROGRAMS, SUCH AS TUTORING, MUSIC, DANCE, EMPLOYMENT, SCHOLARSHIPS AND MORE.
