An 8-Year-Old's Lemonade Stand for Freedom

An 8-Year-Old's Lemonade Stand for Freedom
"Sometimes the best life lessons can be learned from kids. Kids like Miss Vivienne Harr of Fairfax, California. Vivie, as she likes to be called, is a personality-full-cup-runneth-over, 8-year-old philanthropy phenom who set up a lemonade stand -- or what I like to call Lemonade Stand 2.0. Vivie was inspired to take a stand against slavery after seeing an installation on slavery by Lisa Kristine, a photographer who captured authentic, haunting, gut-wrenching snapshots of modern-day slaves around the world." Watch and see how in less than 2 months this compassionate young entrepreneur raised over $50,000 for the cause of freedom.
