UNICEF Kid Power recognizes Women Educators for International Women’s Day annually by special invitation. For the second year, Dr. Melanie Morgan, has been invited and is being recognized as a UNICEF Kid Power woman educator who helps to empower students to help save lives!
Last year’s recognition of Dr. Morgan highlighted how she taught and encouraged the next generation that they can make a difference no matter how young they are. UNICEF recognized her leadership and ability to serve as a guiding light to so many kids.
On March 14th, Dr. Morgan will be recognized for the role she continues to play in teaching children to save lives. As a way to assist children worldwide, Dr. Morgan uses features of UNICEF Kid Power in counseling with students. As each resource is used, virtual coins are given and students can redeem them for Ready-to-Use-Therapeutic Food referred to as miracle food that is used to treat and save the lives of severely malnourished children around the globe. There is also a local impact, too, so it gives meals to families locally, plants trees, and provides health care services. It shows kids what they are capable of and even how they can solve giant global problems like starvation. Dr. Morgan helps kids see that they have the power to make a positive difference. We’re honored to have Dr. Morgan at Menchaca Early Childhood Center.
