Lesson 126

lesson-126 Join the Biz Kid$ and you’ll meet social visionaries who use business skills to make changes in their communities. Their focus is on people instead of profits.  Meet a 12-year old who's helping orphans in Rwanda, a teen who's donated 40,000 teddybears to kids in need, and learn how $125,000 was raised in one night by high school students for Room To Read.

Students identify a cause which they care about then develop their own social entrepreneur trading cards to share with the class.
