On Saturday, November 13, The Kid Entrepreneurs Need Opportunities (KENO) Micro-Fund launched Global Entrepreneurship Week activities with a community service project. Young entrepreneurs volunteered their time cleaning up a stretch of Atlanta highway because they believe that a successful business owner must be a responsible corporate citizen. In addition to the service project, The KENO Micro-Fund (kenofund.org) has a full week of activities to support Global Entrepreneurship Week.
The purpose of the KENO Micro-Fund is to help young entrepreneurs become successful business leaders and responsible global citizens. With that in mind the activities for the week focus on basic business development training and community service.
Keno Lucas II, a 12-year old kid entrepreneur and his mother Atlanta Business woman Adrienne Lance Lucas founded the KENO Micro-Fund. Keno Lucas was recently featured as a budding celebrity kid entrepreneur in the Entertainment Section of the October 24, 2011 Jet Magazine.
