A Fun Event Featuring Kid Entrepreneurs

I was able to attend the Kiddo + preneur event at Shangri-la Mall in EDSA yesterday with the kids that we are mentoring for Hands on Manila foundation and it was certainly a fun event that was filled with sharing, learning and creativity.

Kiddo+preneur is a good platform for kids to learn about the importance of earning one's own money, helps build their confidence and creativity as they are involved in the selling of their products. It also gives them good learning opportunities on investing, running a business and it teaches them that money is something that they work hard for and is not just always given to them.

Seeing kids being supported by their parents at their booths as they sell their products to different visitors is a great experience. It is  also a cool and fun bonding activity for kids and parents.

Our aim at the foundation is to have the kids that we are mentoring learn by example from the kid entrepreneurs at the event since we are teaching them about Entrepreneurship.

We had the kids check the various products, ask the kids who are selling about their products and find out why they are selling said products. Some of the kids we met and talked with are below ten years old and they are really cool, have good product knowledge and are able to sell their products to the booth visitors.

Below are some of the creative and cool kiddo-preneurs we met at the event and highlights during our visit:

The kids from Purple Panda business are very creative and have used their creativity in coming up with useful products such as tote bags and cute pouches. Their mom, Joh, also told us that part of their earnings from the selling activity will be donated by the girls to PGH(Phiippine General Hospital) to help other underprivileged individuals.  They are kind-hearted kids who also value giving back.

Sophia also sells cute pouch bags with animated kiddie heroes

This young girl sells soaps, perfumes and hand sanitizers
that are made by her mom. 

These two kid entrepreneurs are young environmentalists too.
They are  selling turtles since they want to create awareness and
inform people that turtles need to be saved so that it does not
 become extinct. By the way, they get their turtles from
 a  responsible breeder of turtles.

A mom helps her 6-year old daughter sell snow cones

The kids also enjoyed the DIY pancake making booth by Maya Kitchen.

Cyan created his own sun -inspired pancake.

Anna, one of the GMK mentors, also enjoyed as

she saw a Disney Frozen pancake mix product. 

We were actually wondering where Elsa is... ha ha ha.

Isaac, Kent and Ivy, a GMK mentor, also enjoyed the
kiddo + preneur event.

The smart and cool kids we are mentoring to become
successful future entrepreneurs.

The kids we are mentoring for the GMK(Galing Mo Kid) program certainly learned a lot from other kid entrepreneurs. As mentors, we encouraged them to ask questions from the kid entrepreneurs and to try the products. They certainly learned and realized that if kids younger than them can have a business then they can also create cool products, sell and earn in the future too.
