Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

It is very interesting to learn about the issues and trends of different cultures in early childhood. I am excited about this course and I hope that the two professionals I contacted will respond soon. I chose to contact a professional from African and one from Canada. I emailed each professional and I explained why I was contacting them and what I expected from each of them. I posted the emails I sent below:

Mrs. Bimbo Are,

My name is Erica Smith, I am a Graduate Student at Walden University (online), I am currently in the Early Childhood Program. I am in course Educ 6162 (Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field), during this course for our blog assignment; the instructor asked us to establish contact with two early childhood professionals to discuss some of the issues and trends in early childhood in other parts of the world. I wanted to know if you could be one of my contact professionals? I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to read my email.
Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Erica Smith

Since the email did not work for Yvonne Dionne, I had to choose another professional. I chose Dominique Hudicourt from Haiti. I have not heard from either of them as of today, but I hope to hear from them soon. I do not want to choose the alternate assignment for this part of the blog, but if I do not hear from the two I professionals I emailed I will do the alternate assignment.
