As I search the Save the Children’s web page, I found that they break their page down into sections. These sections are labeled who we are, where we work, what we do and our campaigns. Each section breaks down into at least six small sections in an effort to make one have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of their site. In addition, there are places reserved for those that want to make donations, become sponsors, shop gift catalogs, get involved and join their cause. As I browsed through the history section of this site, I found that a female by the name of Eglantyne Jebb was the founder of Save the Children. Eglantyne Jebb was a social crusader during the times of the Allied blockade of offending countries. Jebb dedicated her life to promoting children’s welfare and human rights which changed the way the world treated children. An author by the name of Clare Mulley, which was a fundraiser for Save the Children, wrote a biography on Jebb. In this biography, Mulley introduced Jebb to the world as being the most charismatic, fiercely intelligent, beautiful and influential champions of human rights. Another insight I gained from exploring this web site’s page was the fact that this organization works an advocate for children and families all over the United States. I admire the fact that they fight for children’s protection, education, emergency responses, health and nutrition, hunger and livelihoods and HIV and AIDS. These are very important areas that those in need would benefit from. With adequate assistance in these main areas, I think that those in need would be benefited greatly and placed on a track for success. Resource Save the Children. (2014).

  1. Shuketa,
    It is great when a website breaks down the topics into sections. It definitely makes it easier to search a topic. The Save the Children’s website sounds very interesting. It is very admirable of the woman who started the site to put so much into the organization. It is great that the organization serves the entire United States and not just one area! Thank you for sharing.
