This time, I had the privilege of conducting training sessions for residents of Mangaung and Dihlabeng, spanning across various age groups. Additionally, I was granted the opportunity to host a financial segment on our local radio station every Tuesday, commencing next month. One of the participants stated that "our current educational system falls short in adequately equipping individuals with the necessary skills to effectively manage their finances and cultivate wealth, resulting in widespread financial struggles". He furthermore explained on how the training session served as an eye-opener, emphasizing the significance of actively seeking financial knowledge to make well-informed decisions regarding one's personal finances. The modules that garnered the most appreciation were those money modular 5, 9, 13, and 4. In light of the escalating unemployment rates, Avocado is playing a pivotal role in bridging the gap and empowering our community, simultaneously nurturing us as facilitators. It is truly remarkable to reflect on the journey that has led to the realization that I'll hosting a radio segment. Gratitude is extended to Avocado Vision for this enriching opportunity.
