这个柠檬水摊的故事背后隐藏着一个甜蜜的转折，它会激发你为提升社区和人类福祉而挺身而出的热情。啜饮一口，继续往下读……
有时候，最好的人生经验可以从孩子身上学到。比如来自加州费尔法克斯的薇薇安·哈尔小姐。薇薇（她喜欢别人这样称呼她）是一位性格开朗、热情洋溢的8岁慈善奇才，她摆了个柠檬水摊——或者我更喜欢称之为“柠檬水摊2.0”。
薇薇在观看了摄影师丽莎·克里斯汀（Lisa Kristine）关于奴隶制的装置艺术作品后，深受启发，决心投身于反对奴隶制的斗争。丽莎·克里斯汀拍摄了一系列真实、震撼、令人心碎的现代奴隶照片，展现了世界各地奴隶的悲惨境遇。其中，一张两个尼泊尔儿童背着巨石的照片尤其触动了薇薇。
一家人难以置信地哭了起来。他们回家后查阅了有关奴隶制和人口贩卖的资料。
薇薇深受鼓舞，决定采取行动。看看她是如何在短短不到两个月的时间里，迅速获得来自当地和世界各地数万名支持者的帮助，并筹集到超过5万美元的善款的。
薇薇的项目在《纽约时报》专栏作家尼古拉斯·克里斯托夫在推特上提及@vivienneharr和#MAKEASTAND LEMONADE后迅速走红。她还登上了包括BBC、雅虎在内的多家媒体，并将亮相杰夫·普罗斯特的脱口秀节目，该节目将于9月10日首播。
薇薇的商业头脑仅限于卖柠檬水。她挺身而出，付诸行动——卖柠檬水让她有机会为那些无法发声的人们代言。
无论晴雨，薇薇都计划每天摆摊出售她用心制作的有机、公平贸易的柠檬水，直到筹集到 15 万美元，解救 500 名奴隶。
所有收益将捐给“非卖品”（NOT FOR SALE）组织，这是一个致力于在全球范围内废除奴隶制的非营利组织。你愿意加入她，共同表明立场吗？

薇薇的目标远不止筹集15万美元。她正在与投资者合作，将她的#MAKEASTAND柠檬水装瓶出售……敬请期待！
与此同时，我打算更多地尝试从孩子的视角看待事物。太好了！干杯！

Inspiring, Amazing and Innocent.. That's what a child's work can do.
Thank You for all the effort dear.
Wish You lot of strength and more compassion.
I was so very touched by this story. In a world where people seemed to have lost there compassionate, caring selves, this story is so inspiring. It also makes me hopeful about the generations to come.
Do you wish you could own slaves?
I bet almost nobody looks at this
from the perspective of the slave owner, nor the thousands of people
who would gladly take over as slave owners if the current ones walked
away. What do you put in place to make them stop WANTING to own slaves?
I believe that American homeless might be great ambassadors to the world
if they could take containers full of tools to places where slavery
still exists. Teach these people to be productive with the tools and let
the teachers be humbled and enriched at the same time.
How far away do you have to get from your life in order to find yourself?
