Chocolate Making Navajo Kids Receive Tribal Award

Aug 07, 2007 by Julie Rose

(KCPW News) A group of 35 Navajo children continue to receive national
awards for their chocolate-making business. This summer, a national
association of Native American tribes named the young owners of Lickity
Split Chocolates "Entrepreneurs of the Year." Since then, the company's
executives - who range in age from 8 to 18 - have crisscrossed the country
speaking to groups of children and adults about their business.

KCPW's Julie Rose spoke with Lickity Split CEO Andrew Dayish about those
presentations and his plans for the company's future. Dayish is 16.

Lickity Split CEO Andrew Dayish says the company is on track to do at least
20-thousand dollars in sales this year, which is double last year's take.
The 35 children who own and run Lickity Split share profits each month to
buy bikes, computers and save for college.
