Jade makes her perfume one bottle at a time and gives the proceeds to the United Way.Jade Robbins shows off the finished product, minus the bottle top and hand-painted label. She hopes someday to have a store where she will make custom perfumes.
The difference between Jade and other children her age is that she sells perfume that she makes by hand. On top of the perfume making, Jade is donating the money she makes to United Way.
So in the midst of learning business, the Mancos youth also is learning what it is to be unselfish, thoughtful and generous."
