CHARITY CHAMPS
makes a difference in a child’s life.
In some places, this is all they have. A bundle of plastic bags.
So, what do you think? What do you do?
1 ball + delivery is $25€.
1 single ball can bring alive an entire village.

In 2015, the enormous Nepal earthquake destroyed the entire region, and laid every house and turned everything they built into rubble.
Only the school stood untouched on the hill.
For the valley under shock, it became a symbol of hope.
Now all 7 villages in the valley wanted to have a school. And the students took on the challenge.

In 2019, the mission was accomplished.
Namaste Nepal had financed construction of 7 schools. Worth
Seven hundred thousand in 4 years. Yes.
They had approached their state’s minister of education. Bamboozled, he asked “how can I help?”, and they said “put it on the ministry’s newsletter to all schools, with a call to get involved.” And of course, schools joined in.
Many score $10,000€ in year 1, $20,000€ in year 2 – and it only gets better.

Their problems will become ours, too, once they become adults.
Unless we help them live full lives as children.
You there. Stop thinking small. Please!

DOLLARS FOR CHARITY:WATER
+ It is on TV
because it’s lively, youth, vibrant, positive
and kind journalists love to report on that
+ Next, on the radio
because it is a story and message that people enjoy to hear
It’s so much FUN – let’s just carry on!
And thus Lemon:AID Warriors were born!
LemonAID Warriors is a youth activism organization that shares simple, realistic tools for children and teens to become effective agents of change in their communities. We recognize that kids and families are very busy, and it’s hard to imagine adding anything to our already crazy schedules. So our action plans aim to turn what is already on your calendar into opportunities to serve. We call this action plans “PhilanthroParties”.

As a youth-run organization, our ambitions are not always taken seriously. Our actions are often dismissed as symbolic gestures. But children and young people are capable of accomplishing enormous tangible good! We can have a profound impact on our local, national and global communities.
DOLLARS FOR SOCIAL GOOD
PEOPLE REACHED
Lemon:AID Warriors gives young people tools and support to carry out these aspirations. But ideally, our schools and our entire society would also be on board.
It’s not hard work that people think twice to join. It’s fun, it’s PARTY, you’ll always have merry crew to join you at everybody’s fav place at school, and the best place to be on a saturday & sunday morning for fresh cookies and breakfast at the farmers or flea market.
To help young people everywhere activate their communities, Lulu has published a fireworks of ideas for Philanthro-Parties!
Should there be copies in your public library, school and student club headquarters?
WHY SHOULD ALL CHANGEMAKERS ROUTINELY ENGAGE IN

Presence in Public
that is well received
Presence in Media
because they love positive people-powered solution stories for the betterment of our local and global communities
Presence at Schools
as you get invited as speaker and role model
YOU LEARN TO
RAISE FUNDS
for own causes
Each sale on a normal school day makes $20-50.
$100 a week is easy.
Plus, there’s week-end markets.
Imagine a certain girl added this to #fridays.
7,000,000 strikers could make $700,000,000€ each month to finance ecosystem restoration. Easy.
It only takes spirit, will, fun, ideas.
The key question is :
How big is your heart for people and planet?
Do you really, truly care?
If yes, … you are no longer empty-handed.
If my generation is to face the great challenges we are about to inherit, service needs to be a bigger part of our education.
It’s a challenge to get schools and larger institutions to step it up and make service and volunteerism a bigger priority.
I wish there were more opportunities to support the next generation of compassionate leaders.
While we are the future, we need to start acting now, rather than waiting until it is too late.
Madi, LemonAID Warriors
My favorite childhood memory is visiting my first Philanthroparty, a can carnival!
To get in, you had to bring cans to donate to the food bank.
At the event, we played many games related to cans, like a can stacking game or “can-can competition”. It was the first time that I was able to see the impact that the youth can have on our community and the world. While I was only in Kindergarten, this passion for activism continues to guide my decisions in life to this day.

SCHOOL CURRICULUM
Service Learning is most powerful when organized by creative, fired up students that approach it with as much passion as their favorite sport or game,
at lunch, recess, club time
at fests, as contribution to subjects
after school
on week-ends
with partners in the community
So, don’t be shy but actively cultivate your childish creativity! It’s a magical ticket to success!
