The participants trained are Exo rangers working 14 days each month , they see the money they're earning they are earning as peanuts that they can only partially fullfill their needs but during the training they were able to separate between needs and wants , when we were doing budget their budgeted according to their needs and managed to save a little from their income . Together with them in groups we counted the money saved per month multiply it by 12 months its was good money including interest earned . After the training they were all impressed and appreciative of the opportunity they've been given by CSA . During the trained when doing goals activity they've set their goals and saw that they can fulfill them if they budget and save accordingly . All participants had savings account which they opened when they were hired , they were all complaining about fees but after the banking module they all now can differentiate bank accounts , they vowed to go back to the banks and change accounts to transcation accounts with a saving pocket and able to calculate the monthly fees to pay . This training had a huge impact in participants they all wished that they can attend again with spouses and family members and get another chance to learn more in details . For me it was fulfilling to see participants happy and appreciating the training and putting it into use , most of these participants this job opportunity is the first one and others it's been a while after being retrenched . Thank you so much Avocado Vision and Coronation for giving these participants from deep rural Mount Fletcher this opportunity hoping they'll get another chance to be trained further.
