    I could have used an experience like this growing up to overcome my shyness and improving my people-skills.

    I'm a girl scout and I enjoy it. My parents would never force me to do it. I enjoy selling.

    "Mary Ruiz managed to stock her small bedroom here with an iPad, laptop and Nintendo DS...

    In exchange for her efforts, she earned all manner of goodies from her local scouting council. This year, Ms. Ruiz stands to earn a trip to a local water park, a visit to Disneyland, a “V.I.P. Club” experience (no parents allowed), a beach bike and another iPad or laptop."

    While she doesn't make money from volunteering at an NGO (who does?) she gets some rewards that her mother couldn't afford to give her

    She sells cookies because she's a cute little girlscout selling cookies and people know what it's all about. Selling cookies as a girl-scout is not going to help her sell any other type of thing, This is child labor and she isn't getting paid for it, she can learn all these lessons and get paid too.

    And that's why there isn't a video of YOU selling cookies. Sometimes you've gotta bend the rules.
