It was such a pleasure to engage with the field workers of Nal'ibali organisation who are running a Reading Program in the schools around the upper highway area(Hillcrest). The Money Fo Sho training took place from the 20th to the 24th of May in the different venues for different groups. The energy that all the groups had was amazing, there was interaction in almost all the topics of the session and what stood out were the experiences they shared on how they quickly lost ownership of their money because of lacking the knowledge on stretching their budgets. Managing risk was another eye opener for them, getting clarity on how the insurance policies can save one from using the money that was set aside for financial goals with the aim of bringing progress to your life and make you a better person. Every group wished that they had the Consumer Financial Education training just when they started working on the project as May was their last month but they were so grateful about the information gained as it has equipped them with all the skills they need to make informed decisions in money matters.The group coordinator even mentioned in her speech on behalf of all the groups that the session changed their perspective to money matters which they will forever cherish as they embark on a journey of being unemployed again as now they know that selling your talent or your skill is one way of boosting your income and making ends meet. I am looking forward to more engagements with this new contact (Nal'ibali) in the future.
