Ari, the 5-year-old son of Lydi Litwin, received a potholder loom as a gift last year, and he quickly began preparing colored kitchen items-many of them.
Litwin said, “He is very expanded and proficient, and so it is suited to the duration of his attention.” “They just started making more and more at the point, where we said,” Okay, won’t it not be interesting if you had a place to sell them? ”
Litwin gave the idea of giving some profits for a good reason. He and Eri decided that half the income would go to the heart from the heart, a program that provides arts to patients and visitors in the Vermont Medical Center University and his children’s hospitals. Ari’s aunt is a doctor there, and Litwin is a long -time art teacher, who knew about the impact of the program on children undergoing difficult times.
“We had all its connections,” Litvin said, “and it resonated with him.”
The Burlington family was able to secure a location during a holiday market in foam brooers, and Eri installed a booth. A poster explained his mission.
By the end of the night, he sold to a few dozen Potholders and earned more than $ 200, about $ 100 was in luck for the heart.
Ari was very busy playing to give an interview for seven days, but he later told his mother that he was surprised how many people had come to his booth. He said, “It was difficult to do all the weaving, all up and up and up and more … like 200 and one billion times,” he said.
Litvin said that the sale experience allowed ARI to overcome some money in a bank account and also learn how to help others.
Litvin said, “I want to start thinking about money at an early age, which is not only to buy toys, but … that other people of the world should also be thought of.”
Ari has received the message. Next year, he wants to create a holiday market that features child artisans.
