I was training in Hammarsdale,doing modules 1-5,My highlights would be that the participants want to really invest their money in the different savings/investments,especially the RSA retail savings bond and the Endowment policy.So much so that they actually came back with more information for themselves and questions to verify that information.Module 5 was also a hit because it had to mostly do with business,most of the participants wanted to begin their own businesses,this module had a huge impact on them,took us more than the allocated time due to the interest that they had shown.All in all,the sessions were a success and more people have been calling asking for the next class,after hearing from the others that it went very well.

Coronation MFS & MM financial skills program. I ran this training in the rural area of Bothas Hill and I was very happy that the majority of the group was the youth and we had few older people who I thought will make the session more interesting and fruitful. The youth were overwhelmed by the knowledge on personal finance/ financial health we shared and they were more interested on the good saving methods that are out there to make then prosperous sooner in their life journey. The interaction was amazing as the older participants shared their sad earliest memories with money which mostly occurred because of lack of Financial literacy. The highlight of the day was when I did a practical example of a long term goal set for a child's tertiary education where the plan started from when the child was in Grade 8, the calculation of the estimate of how much should be saved just to cater for the registration fees at varsity/ collage. They were all shocked by the little amount that their parents should have saved monthy to get them to tertiary and some were emotional as their parents told them that they cannot afford to take them to varsity back then when you only needed the registration fees. This really showed how financial education is important in one's life, a life skill indeed! At the end of the session I was excited that the session had a positive impact on all age groups especially because such opportunities are rare in the rural areas, some of them even sent me messages to express their gratitude!

MetroKickstarz financial educational and entrepreneurship program, I fruitfully engaged with the Wem combined school principal. In the school I have successfully trained more than 70 learners, some testify that they were well informed in the session and looking forward to apply the skills they have learned. Another girl speak out that she is good in mathematics and she will surely start her torturing business like sinhle to help others learners in need with a amonth of R50 per session. Some say it was a new skills receive and appreciated it was a matter of time to think Brody what business they will start while in school or beyond the classroom. Another young boy said " He have a business of loan shark for a while and is working very well" what motivate this young man to be in the field it's a legacy business that normally runs by his father and He adopted the idea. When I feather ask this young man what are challenges in his business, He said not yet everything has been going well clients respect and pay in time.
