AWATEY, Samuel* Development Planning Officer, Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, Ghana. * E-mail of the corresponding author: profdealfas@yahoo.com Abstract This study employed the livelihood approach to examine the effects of streetism on the livelihoods of children who live and make their living on the streets of Kumasi. The study examines the causative factors that push children on to the streets, their encounters and experiences in their attempts to cope with street life. The study used both quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data was collected from 50 street children in eight areas in Kumasi where the street children are predominant. The study identified that children who live on the street adopt a range of survival strategies, both legal and/or illegal, to confront the challenges of urban street life. The study further identified that the plight of children arises not so much out of negative experiences they have gone through such as child abuse or child neglect but broadly to the absence of and inadequate programmes resulting from the low-priority placed on issues related to child welfare in the country generally. These challenge human right and underpin injustice in the country. The problems street children...

...at the present time, people as the consumers tend to explore for a unique food outlet which can offer products suitable to their taste and preferences. Since meals on the go are nothing new in the Food Service Industry, there is an outgrowing demand of people who are looking for healthy, “Home- Cooked Meals” and finding them outside their traditional way of eating. Food that is flavorful and healthy is making the grade, which explains why ethnic or native meals are among top home meal replacement preferences. Hence, Food chains are becoming popular already. Considering this fact, the proposed business is entitled “Harampangan ha Sinirangan”, this has the quickness of the service in fast-food chains and the convenience that most upscale restaurants gives to its customers and top it all with meals and delicacies that are inspired by purely Eastern Visayas Cuisine. The local residents and tourists as the major target beneficiaries, tend to discover a place where to gather, relax, enjoy and eat something new. Having these ideas, the proposed business would be a place that would cater with that needs and wants. It would be first Food Outlet that would offer purely native meals and delicacies. The proposed business would be situated at Real Street, Sagkahan Tacloban City. It is therefore accessible and is located near with the prospective target consumers.

...BRAZIL: Over the past few years, Brazil has moved from a country with great promise 'some time in the future' to being seen as one of the hottest investment opportunities in the world. A more stable political system and currency, coupled with vast mineral wealth of the country make Brazil a 'must' for all companies with truly global ambitions. With a population of 194 million, Brazil represents the fifth largest market opportunity in the world — after China, India, Indonesia and the USA. It is also the fifth largest country in the world by geographic size. An IMF (International Monetary Fund) report indicates that Brazil leads all other South American countries in terms of infrastructure and technological development. Combine these facts with the stabilising economic and political landscape — (the twin nightmares of corruption and hyper-inflation ravaged the country for decades) — and it is easy to see why Brazil attracts a higher percentage of total global foreign direct investment year on year. However, anybody wishing to do business with Brazil and the Brazilians should be aware of the various cultural and structural barriers which might confront them. Probably the most pervasive barrier encountered by the unwary traveller would be the 'Custo Basil' or the 'Brazil Cost'. This term refers to the very real extra costs of doing business in Brazil — corruption, governmental inefficiency, legal and bureaucratic complications, excessive taxation, poor infrastructure, inflation...
