Children and Lemonade
By Mark Summe on 2010-03-16 12:04:53
Three years ago a man named Scott Jones helped children in Houston, Texas about learning business skills. His idea was to loan children $20, and with this they built a lemonade stand, bought the lemons and sugar needed, and started their business.
Now on a daily basis, if the child stuck with it he/she could make as much as $150 per day selling lemonade. Scott encouraged the children to save some of the investment, spend some of it, and mostly expressed how important it was to give back to the community.
Scott Jones invented this ideal for children to learn business skills, and because of it, it has been determined that May 2nd has been dedicated as Lemonade Day around the States. Children can pick up their backpacks at Public Libraries and at the YMCA branches.
