Sponsor a Child
The core of Trivani's business plan is the ability to Sponsor a child-without any extra cost to you. As a Sponsor, you will receive a picture of your assigned child, as well as information about the child\'s location and situation. Through the Trivani Foundation, your child will receive all of the food, clothing, education, and medical attention he or she needs. And you will receive online updates on your child\'s progress to keep you informed. Many of the perks of the compensation plan are activated when you become a Sponsor.
Many of Trivani's projects are made possible because of our partnership with Koins for Kenya, Asayo's Wish Foundation, Globus Relief, Deseret International, and several other organizations. By working with these groups we are able to leverage each donation into an incredible amount of humanitarian aid-in some cases turning 1 dollar into more than 100 dollars worth of services and supplies.
Join us on Monday 6/14 and Thursday 6/17 7 pm PST to learn more about thr TRivani Foundation and how you can help a child without making a donation. Login at www.trivaniworldgroup.com. No password is needed.

Have you created an effective elevator speech? Use this time to try it out or practice with other mom entrepreneurs. Promote your business and educate your peers to be strong referral sources.
Recommended reading: How to Create an Effective Elevator Speech
Please submit your elevator pitch in advance to MyMompreneur to be included in this fast paced networking eventmymompreneur@gmail.com a 250 character \"elevator\" pitch along with name, company, website, Twitter, Facebook, and email address and phone number by 5pm PST on Tuesday, July 27th.
Everyone\'s information will be collected and distributed to all participants the morning of the event.
You know your business inside and out, that is, until someone asks you what you do. Then you clam up, "Should I tell them about the latest special?" "Should I tell them why they should join my team?" "Do I ask them for their contact information?"
Rehearsing your "elevator speech" is a great way to make an impact in 1 minute or less. You make a great impression and draw the listener in. If you've done your homework and delivered a great message then hopefully they will ask for more. Here are some great tips to help you develop your one-minute presentation that says who you are, what you do, and why anyone should care about your business, product or services.
Join MyMompreneur as we learn how to craft an effective elevator pitch.
