10-year old Jessica has a good life with her family in Sweden. For two years she has been giving half of her weekly allowance to her sponsored child Patience. Patience is 5 years old and lives in Ghana. This film tells us why Jessica wants to help a child, who isn’t as well of as herself, and who she’s never met. The children who watch this film understand that even half of a weekly allowance can be of great help and can last for a while in a very poor country. We get to join Jessica on her exciting adventure with Patience in Africa. She gets to learn a lot about the people and the life in Ghana. Jessica meets exciting animals and ”talks” to Patience and other children in the children’s own language, through playing. She also gets to see that people can be happy, even if they are poor – there are many positive sides in their lives as well. Half of Jessica’s allowance means that Patience can get things that she otherwise wouldn’t have been able to get. Jessica and Patience are friends for life, even if they live on different continents.

What is the children’s law? Differences between Sweden and Ghana. Sponsored children. What is aid work? Colouring pictures. Different levels of difficulty depending on age.
