Action Plan
**Organization and Action Plan Brainstorm** //Now that you have completed a case study it is time for you to create your own organization and an action plan for your topic! Fill in the information below and post the document on you Wiki.// Your action plan should include the following: The Division Coalition Elementary schools in Ghana We want children to be properly educated as to have futures possibly outside of their native countries, and become active members of the world's online community. With the access to computers, children around the globe will be able to receive the same level of education as people in first-world countries. The digital divide expands on the educational deficit existing in certain countries. Children will be able to grow up to a future of many possibilities, and realize their life goals and dreams. By helping the education of these children, people will be giving them the oppurtunity to learn more than they ever could have without information technology. Raise 1200 RMB (enough to buy one OLPC XO series notebook) by March 1st. One way that my group will try to raise the money is by publishing an article on SAS's ParentTalk magazine in order to raise awareness on our issue. The main way we think we will be able to effectively raise enough money to purchase one XO series notebook is by creating a sponsorship program. We think getting an article published in ParentTalk will help get people to actually participate. We'll also set up donation boxes around the school. What we hope to do is to continue to raise funds.
