As we grow up and start looking for our first jobs, we often fail to realize how easy we had it. Although good grades and getting into college are important, almost all seniors and new grads who are looking for an entry level job never had to worry about survival. It was a given. I’m sure that there are some of you reading who had very different experiences, but most of you are now facing the most distressing times of your lives – entering the real world. It’s easy to forget that there are millions of children in the world who live each day trying to survive. Save the Children is an international non-profit organization that focuses almost entirely on making the lives of children across the world better. They do so with a focus on 7 main areas: Economic Opportunities, Education, Emergencies, Protection, Health, Hunger and Malnutrition, and U.S. Literacy and Nutrition. Save the Children has spent the last 70 years fighting poverty’s effects on children through their unique self-help approach, and they’re not stopping any time soon.

   I appreciate the work of Save the children, their tireless efforts to ensure that children meet their needs as they grow up, and that they become well informed about their rights and obligations.

   I would also appreciate if you cnsidered me as part of Save the Children and we work together in promoting the lives of children in the world.I have passion for children, and have ever worked as an intern in children’s office in Naivasha Kenya.I did enjoy helping all the children with problems by seeing them improve and become better citizens.
