Make A Difference...

I wanted to share with all of you a program that is changing the lives of some inner city kids. The program is called E CITY. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to this program a few years back. My company, FreeLife, made a sizable donation to this program through their GOJIKIDS foundation.

E CITY believes that kids in the inner city, "who have mental toughness, street smarts, survival instincts and creativity, can put those innate traits to productive use, if shown how." The E CITY program engages students with mentors in their community which, in turn, helps them to see the connection between academics and “real life.” I was privileged enough to be able to present my FreeLife opportunity to these kids. Everyone especially with today's economic climate is looking for a "WAY OUT." I not only showed them my business but introduced them to the world of network marketing. We discussed FreeLife, Avon, MaryKay, Pampered Chef and many other mlm/network marketing companies. They could not believe that their were opportunities to own their own business without laying out several thousands of dollars. It was wonderful to answer all of their questions and just spend the day with them.

With E CITY more than 900 Cleveland area students have entered in the E CITY business plan competitions for cash awards since 2002.

Here is a video of one success story from E CITY
