Plan Canada - A Plan For The Children

See what PLAN Canada is doing to help children around the world lead a richer fuller life.
Plan is a global movement for change, mobilizing millions of people around the world to support social justice for children in developing countries.

Founded in 1937 as Foster Parents Plan, we are one of the world's oldest and largest international development agencies, working in partnership with millions of people around the world to end global poverty. Not-for-profit, independent and inclusive of all faiths and cultures, we have only one agenda: to improve the lives of children. Join us and plan to change the world.

Through programs in more than 65 countries, we give children, families and communities the tools they need to break the cycle of poverty and build sustainable solutions with measurable results for improving their own lives.


 

 

 

 



We make it possible for people living in poverty to use their ideas, talents and energy to make better lives for themselves. We engage children in shaping their own future.

Along with well-trained volunteers - numbering over 60,000 worldwide - Plan works with communities to build schools, educate teachers, dig wells, open health clinics, provide vocational training, innovate to improve crop yields, give people access to loans to start small businesses, provide humanitarian assistance when disaster strikes, and much more. We do whatever is needed to create an environment in which children, families and communities can thrive.

We are supported in our work by over one million donors worldwide and by millions of local people who are active participants in their own development. Each year our work impacts the lives of more than 3.5 million families and their children in over 25,000 communities.

We encourage all our members to learn more about Plan Canada. Plan Canada is an established organization that works with people all over the world.

Bob Holmes

Bob Holmes is a powerful motivational speaker who is also an amazing athlete who provides a thrilling volleyball exhibition. Bob travels to schools and events sharing his wisdom and talent. You should hear what school officials are saying about this amazing program and how it impacts the lives of those who hear it.

Bob is on a mission to help students "Beat the Odds" against the issues of their day. ReferLife.com is proud to be associated with Bob in our quest to improve the lives of children all around the world.

This is a must have program that we feel will give students some of the inspiration and guidance they need to "Beat the Odds." It is something that they will be thinking about and talking about long after Bob has left the building.
It takes more than words; it takes action to "Beat the Odds."

That is exactly what happened to Bob; his troubles transformed him into "The One Man Volleyball Team." Bob has played and beaten the Miami Dolphins, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Washington Redskins, the Buffalo Bills (three times), the Toronto Blue Jays, the New England Patriots, the Baltimore Orioles (with Cal Ripken and Jim Palmer), a first place beach volleyball team, Penn State, all the athletic teams of Texas A&M University, and many more.

Bob has faced more than 400,000 opposing players in front of more than three million people since 1986, and has conducted more than 5000 motivational assemblies. He has won more than 16,400 games with less than 400 losses and holds records in the Guinness Book of World Records. We will keep you up to date with Bob and our support of Bob in the coming months.
