This could work until she gets older. Then adults won’t feel like giving money to some old lady. It’s cute when it’s a kid.

[Revolting cat!]

Marin County

Enough said.

[Responsibility2nd]

How cute. But I wonder just how many child slaves have been freed.

[smoothsailing]

When she gets older she can switch to selling beer and wine.

[stayathomemom]

Is she getting paid for doing this?

[bgill]

My guess would be zero.

[cripplecreek]

Now try paying rent little girl.

[Cowboy Bob]

Does she have a license to sell lemonade? I’ve heard that local authorities across the country have put lemonade stands out of business for this reason.

[Revolting cat!]

He companion in training as a pimp.

I don’t want to rain on her parade, but has she checked what these non profits are doing with her donations? Many non profits raise lots of money, only to spend it mostly on staff salaries and perks, very little if any money going towards their intended purpose.

the young girl saw the book “Slavery” by Lisa Kristine, a journalist who photographs slaves across the world.

An image of two Nepalese boys with giant rocks strapped to their heads grabbed Vivienne’s attention, and she wanted to do something about ending their plight. “Maybe we could sell lemonade?” was the simple question Vivienne asked her parents,

For such a "Something" to be effective, it usually must involve lots of men with guns, tanks, jeeps, artillery, and such, along with lots blood, guts, and gore; until the bunch holding others in slavery has leaked enough blood and guts to want it to stop.

Selling lemonade is a cute idea.

[lowbridge]

If she gives a cut to democrat party coffers, then she’ll be ok.

[Dilbert San Diego]

She has a great idea. But wonder how much of her donations are really going to the.cause.

well, it’s good to draw attention to the fact that slavery still exists in some parts of the world. Those who want the US to pay reparations for slavery should really work towards fighting slavery where it still exists.

[Uncle Chip]

Did the money go to Al and Jesse???

[Wanderer99]

How cute. But I wonder just how many child slaves have been freed.

Thanks to Obama, child slaves will be imported using your tax dollars. Her cute little smile will disappear as soon as she figures out about the real world :(

[Lent]

“$101,320 that she donated to a nonprofit dedicated to ending child slavery.”

Is China on that list? Poor kid is probably selling lemonade from containers made with slave labor from China.

She's also committing felony anti-culturalism. How dare she not appreciate the right of Obama's Muslim brothers to own child slaves?!

[Menehune56]

I thought maybe she was running an affirmative action bake sale.

Idiocy will always trump compassion. Some day there will be NOTHING ELSE but slavery, death, and ruin in the world.
