Italians call Americans:  Help to rebuild Italy as after WWII Italy,  once the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in Europe,  became the first European country to impose national lockdown restrictions . At the beginning of May, Italy lifted some of those restrictions but  schools, nurseries, day cares and summer camps have remained closed.  In Italy, right now there are about 10 million kids under 18 who are affected by these closures.  No one knows when formal schooling will resume, and everyone feels uncertain. The crisis we are experiencing is the biggest planetary educational crisis we can remember. It is believed that 1 billion 650 million children in the world are still out of school and blocked at home or with limited mobility.  But what will happen after this emergency in Italy and in the USA and in the World? Impact of Covid-19 on the closure of Education System in Italy -Absolute Poverty Risk:   Because of the Coronavirus, many Italians are losing their jobs.  Families don't have access to basic necessities; parents find it difficult to guarantee their children access to primary or early childhood goods (diapers, feeding bottles, wipes, condensed milk, etc.).  ISTAT data shows how 1 in 8 kids lives in Italy in absolute poverty ; that is  1.25 million children. -Educational Poverty risk : During the lockdown, the closure of the school system coupled with the closure of services for kids 0 to 6 represents a return to educational poverty. Lack of values, total marginalization from the social context, isolation, are some of the fallouts of Covid-19 related to the closure of the education system in Italy and in the world. It is not yet clear how many children and young people have dropped off school in recent months, due to the digital divide, but also and above all due to the cultural disparities which many Italian families still face today. This "educational gap" is even wider for children from families in conditions of material poverty.  If an effective response is not provided, there will be a generation of future Italian adults discriminated and abandoned, already during their childhood . -Rising unemployment among women  Many parents — and especially mothers — fear they will be forced to give up their work in order to care for their children, because, as the country slowly crawls back to life,  schools, nurseries, day cares and summer camps remain closed.  Right now, Italian families are living in a situation of great uncertainty," said  Elena Bonetti, italian's minister for equal opportunities and the family. Families needed to feel supported not only during the lockdown, but after, she added.                                            MissionBambini  launched his appeal to Americans for rally together and HELP TO RAISE   $30,000  Children at high risk of early school dropout or failure should not be abandoned, nor their families in serious conditions of socio-economic distress. OUR RESPONSE -To contrast Absolute Poverty Risk  We deliver parcels containing hygiene products (diapers, wipes and creams), specific food products (milk, baby food, biscuits, pasta and flours) to families who are already suffering the weight of social inequality. -To prevent   Educational Poverty Risk 
 
 Strengthening IT equipment for families  Mission Bambini provided with laptops, tablets, and smartphones, to lower income families with limited IT equipment at home. The coronavirus emergency is exasperating the most critical situations of those families who have children with Special Educational Needs or foreign children with linguistic difficulties.  The expected results of this intervention is to reduce as much as possible the social and educational costs that this period of isolation is causing to children, who are at higher risk of not being able to keep up with the school curriculum, compromising their future school years. 
 
 
 Ideation of a on-line platform with the purpose of accompanying the pedagogical growth of children age 0 through 6   www.bambinipatapum.it  .   The platform provides families the tools for the educational management of children in nursery school. Inside there are tips and multimedia content for organizing various activities such as workshops and readings. There is also an online  Consultant session  which gives relief and emotional support to the most fragile or lonely parents at home, who in turn can transmit safety to children.  It's the first platform in Italy to provide this service for children in the age group 0-6.  Thanks to your donations, we could make the contents of the digital platform  also accessible in English to American children too.

 The Digital Educator:  It's an educator supporting the activities promoted within the online platform ( www.bambinipatapum.it )  The idea of online education is to give families access to workshops which are managed online by educator; support is provided to families   through different levels : 
   
 Webinars :  online sessions are scheduled in which parents and children together carry out with the educator various activities, included in the multimedia contents of the platform.  This level of activity is considered less invasive as it doesn't enter into the merits of parental management but is limited to "dealing with" and therefore accompanying the parenting skills of families less directly .    
 Weekly planning of an educational plan : from the platform every week the educators will produce a weekly plan of the activities, present in the platform, that parents can manage with their children. Through two weekly meetings, families will be able to discuss webinars, conducted by educators, on the difficulties encountered and ask for suggestions.  In addition to providing advice, this action involves a transfer of parenting skills between the educator and parents and among parents themselves. 
 
 
 Individualized online accompaniment : it is a service aimed at the most fragile families and follows the same strategy of action described above.  The educator will develop a personalized weekly educational path for the family in difficulty and will try to support it through online meetings. 
   
 Webinar for parents :  to transfer parenting skills to participants, such as relationship management, accompaniment to motor and communication development, conflict management, etc. 
 -T o  prevent rising unemployment among women   
 
 Home education:  The role of the home educator is therefore twofolds: to provide educational support to families as well as to ensure that children are well and protected. The home educator is therefore the role who will go directly to the homes of the families most at risk by supporting them in the management of children and providing them with the tools that can enable parents to accompany their children even in his absence. It will also be the catalyzer of network operators by reporting the most urgent and at risk cases to the Public Social Services. 
 
 Outdoord Education  This means being able to imagine the possibility to carry out outdoor activities with groups of children and parents respecting the required distances. In the summer months therefore during suitable weather conditionsan educator will organize outdoor activities teaching children to play safely.  This would allow mother who return to work to be able to have a place where their children are entrusted, to children to find their educators and companions and resume their educational path, to families to be able to participate and increase their parenting skills .
