Good Lesson

We had a member who had a painting business in a previous ward and would take on anyone who wanted a job...they would have to actually work though, so some didn't last.  Mostly it was young men earning money towards their missions.

 

I think starting a small business where safety could be assured for all would be a great idea, lawnmowing for businesses is a great idea...the business could use it as PR as in "our yardwork is done by such and such foundation".  Ward members could get behind it (anonymously) by advertising, helping pay for the overhead to begin with, etc.  Window washing of businesses and similar low tech work could be part of it.

 

As a side note, my husband had a student who started putting himself through school with a lawnmowing business.  Last I heard (we moved out of the country) he was worth a million, I believe, and growing...still had that business as well and would come out and mow our lawn for us for old times sake.
