On November 10th, 2019, the wind was chilling outside, but in the conference hall of Great Neck house, it was a scene of enthusiasm. 32 parents and children from various families participated in the 2019 annual conference held by Mini Nonprofit Project.
During the annual conference, Sarah (now a 7th grader in the Great Neck South Middle School), the founder of the micro-public welfare organization, introduced the two main projects of the organization and the annual plan for 2020.
The first project is Kiva project. Kiva is an international non-profit organization dedicated to helping poor entrepreneurs around the world access interest-free loans and start-up funds, or helping economically disadvantaged students to continue their studies. During each Kiva event, Kiva team members firstly choose a project from Kiva.org, conduct research, write an article through research, gives a speech and presents his/her research to all the team members showing everyone who they choose and would like to fund. Finally, the project team will vote for the project to be sponsored.
The second project is Kids’ Finance and Cashflow (K.F.C.) competition. This activity mainly focuses on IQ games to train elementary school students and improve their problem solving, mental math, logical thinking, and teamwork skills. In this way, the children can learn a lot, and at the same time, have a lot of fun.
