I work in Houston TX in an very low economic area the part of Houston I work in is called 5th ward. Fifth Ward is the part of Houston that is truly poverty. Children are rearing themselves because parents is on drugs or in jail. I have to conduct home visit on the children in my class,some of the home i enter is really scary. It is not suitable for children to leave. Lights are off, children are sleeping on the floor and food what is food. Some children don't eat until they get to school. On Friday's the Houston Food Bank comes to the school and provide the children with food to take until Monday and they return to school. At the beginning of each school years the other teachers and I pass out uniforms to each child because the parents cannot afford to buy uniforms. Because of its stress children are not pro forming at their best.
A county that also have similar poverty problems is Niagara children are lacking food and education and parents are dead or sick or out of work. The country has gotten a little better but there are still alot of children suffering. Poverty can affect a child emotionally socially and mentallyy no matter what part of the world they are in.

"Immunizations Thats Important"
One public health topic that is very important to me is immunization. Immunization is important not only for the people within the United States but also around the world. Without vaccines children would not have chance at a better future. Immunizations stops the spread of diseases and provides a sense secure. According to the CMDC" Immunzing individual children protects the health of our community".
I belive if we could help thrird world countries likes Africa and other countries provide immunzations to children around the world they will also have a chance at a better future. As an early childhood teacher I one of the requirement before a child can enter into school they must be immunzed. Staying immunzing help protect our children and our community.

The Birth Of A Child
I have been pregnant three time and as a mother each pregnancy is special. With my first child I was excited, scared and happy. When I became pregnant with my second child I experience some complications bleeding for two months, encountered a car accident during the pregnancy and after going to the doctor I found out that I was bleeding from one of my tubs and the baby was in my tub. At that time I had to receive emergency surgery and found out that I had lost my baby. I was so upset and confuse I then went into a state depression not eating, didn't want talk to anyone, or be around any one .Then three years later I found out that I was pregnant again and I was so happy. I chose this example because that is something that many women have to deal with each and every day around the world and with out proper medical treatment a person could died. The birth of a child is important and special with out proper medical treatment a mother can damage their child. It is very important during pregnancy that a mother visit the doctor regularly because it can have a long term effect on their child's development. In Sierra Leonean babies are delivered by midwife's and medical professional if the mother is close to a hospital. Women are die ding during child birth because of lack of medical equipment, under staff, and lack of medicine and a lot of mothers are giving birth from the home.
I have learn with out proper medical treatment in any country it will affect a child's development in the long run.
