National Dali High School is looking for collaborative partner for their virtual lemonade stand!

We are very pleased to announce that we are being joined this year from a National Dali High School in Taiwan and they are looking for a few US school partners to hold a virtual lemonade stand via videoconference. If you’re looking for a fun project to do as part of your Alex’s Virtual Lemonade Stand experience, please get in touch with Mary (contact information below)!

National Dali High School-Taiwan is holding virtual lemonade stands via videoconferencing! We are inviting you to connect with us, interact with us, and/ or even hold your lemonade stand in collaboration with us! We are holding two virtual stands, which will be at:

1. 9:00 a.m.- 10:30 a.m. (EDT) , Mar. 27 &

2. 7:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. (EDT), Mar. 27

Get the word out! Lemonade stands held simultaneously with cultural interchange and interactions via international videoconferencing will definitely attract many, many customers!

How is our lemonade sold virtually?

National Dali High School students, parents, and teachers are going to interact with U.S. sites by performing traditional arts to raise money for pediatric cancer research. We will be demonstrating the art of Chinese calligraphy (writing Chinese characters upon request; for example, translating donors’ names into Chinese and then writing the calligraphy) as well as giving musical performances with traditional instruments. Students will explain and demonstrate how to make Taiwanese chewy lemonade and also sell unique exclusive items, such as specially designed Taiwan shirts, badges, bookmarks (and other accessories). In addition, we also invited a professional Feng-shui consultant to explain the theory of desirable interior designs/ arrangements and offer individuals suggestions upon request.

By collaborating on these virtual lemonade stands, not only are we attaining the purpose of raising funds for pediatric cancer research; we are also learning ethnic diversity and enhancing cultural interchange through international collaboration!

Contact us now and join this special project of Alex’s Virtual Lemonade Stand ! (limited number of seats for interactive/ collaborating sites )
