They work with active participation of children, their families, and their communities. Ghana is located in West Africa and its bordering countries are Cote D'Ivoire (This is translated as //Ivory Coast)//, Burkina, and Togo. Ghana was once called //Gold Coast//. This map shows the major cities and physical features of Ghana.

In Ghana, soccer is a well known sport to play. These boys are playing with a soccer ball. Notice that the two boys don't have shirts on, which symbolizes how Ghana is a poor, developing country. Plan helps Ghana by giving poor children the things that they need, for example a medicine, clothing, food, clean water, ect. Basically the things that are needed to survive. || [|slenelle/3193094569/] || Plan has five key aspects. They involve growing up healthy, learning, habitat, livelihood, and building relationships. In all of Africa, growing up healthy is somewhat rare. Plan is able to give medical assistance to children that are sick. It is important to grow up a healthy life because if you are not healthy, then you are not happy. Many children in Africa die from diseases at a very young age. Plan works hard to try and reduce the chance of children dying from disease at a young age

This picture represents the children of Ghana. If you look at the building, you might notice that it is not in the best condition. The boy in the corner has no shirt, and the girl in the yellow shirt is missing a few teeth. Notice how they are smiling anyway. The children might not be rich, but they sure are happy people. These children do not think about what they might get for dessert for dinner; they wonder if they are going to get fed that day. I don't think that I am strong enough to live like these children do. I am so lucky and blessed. || [|39387704@N00/148659819/] || The second thing that Plan helps with is learning. Education is very important and most kids in Africa don't even get the chance to go to school. If children in Africa do not get an education, it is very hard for them to get a job when they are older. Plan helps children get an education because they go to Africa and build schools in Ghana and many other countries. They also raise money for children in Africa so that families can pay for education. To Plan, learning is a key point in helping kids in Ghana. ||

There are not very many cities in Africa that are as modern as the US. Plan tries to make habitats better in order for a group of people to live and go through their daily activities. Plan can provide people with houses, and they can even raise money to help build a nice community.

This is the Plan Logo. The logo represents the Plan organization. It is good advertisement because it lists the organization name, a motto, and a picture. I think that the circle stands for our planet and the person inside the circle for the people of Earth. || photos/rnsheets/2400248846/ || The fourth domain is livelihood. Livelihood is the root cause of poverty and ensures that the improved financial position of families leads to increased economic and social benefits for their children. Plan has award-winning strategies that help parents (especially mothers) with poverty-busting credit and small business development programs.

This is the Ghana flag. This flag represents Ghana and Africa well because the black color stands for the people of Ghana, the red color stands for the blood shed for the people of Ghana, the yellow color stands for gold, and the green color stands for the land. This flag is very symbolic to the culture and country of Ghana in Africa. ||
 * [[image:1417179338_a2551ab06b_m.jpg]] || http://www.flickr.com/photos/janchan/1417179338/ || The fifth domain is Building Relationships. Relationships are important in Africa because a lot of children do not have families. Plan helps get children off the streets and into homes. Building relationships can help in a child's life a lot. It can make a child feel important and not alone.

This is a picture of three little children in Ghana. They don't have shoes. The little boy is eating a banana. I am so fortunate to have shoes. Plan will help provide them with food, clothing, and doctors with medicine. ||

In World War 2, plan expanded to help children throughout Europe. After Europe got back together, Plan expanded once again and started working in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Plan works in 49 different countries around the world today. It is one of the world's largest development organizations.

This picture shows a girl who is happy. Why shouldn't she be? Notice that she is wearing a red bracelet. I wonder what it says. I have many bracelets, but I don't appriciate them a lot. Plan will provide this child with food, clothing, and health. || 2091935920/ || For Plan to help others, they need other people to participate too. Plan is all about helping children. Sponsoring children, making a donation, funding a project, and donating money are all ways to help Plan. Plan has given itself to helping children all around the world.

This last picture is of a boy eating something. His head is down. Is he sick? Or is he blessing the food before he eats? I think that that he is thanking God for a meal and to have food in his bowl. I try to say grace before every meal, but I am not very good at remembering and staying consistent. ||
