This training has played a very big role to me. I only did three sessions but I have learnt a lot,My first session went well even though I had few things to fix and I worked a bit harder for the next session, I really wanted to fix the mistakes I did on the first one but the second session didn't go well at all , I had more than 20 participants but only 10 filled evaluation forms and most of them filled them late due to network that I was also struggling with .Then third session had a small group and they all engaged and filled evaluation forms in time,they made me proud and willing to do more for the community.When ever I am on a session I feel like my dream has finally became true cause I am doing something I have been dreaming for a long time.

I had the privilege of facilitating the Sanlam Money Fo Sho program in the areas of Steytlerville, Jansenville and Willowmore during October and November. I had a very successful sessions and the participants were enthusiastic and appreciated the training very much as they got exposed to new information or/and the old reinforced through the training. Budgeting seem to highlight my sessions as some are budgeting but end up not implenting it hence the importance they realised of differentiating between needs and wants and prioritizing items on your budget. The risk module also highlighted the need to assess your needs as it turned out that many over insured in some instances yet they were either under or not insured at all in other instances. The credit module also had people speaking as some did not realise how credit works and how much money is spent on credit rather than the item. Fraud and scams as always is a hot topkc as many people only realised during the training that they were being scamed and are spenfing money pn fraudulent stuff. The training was a huge success as it brought useful and relevant information to our people and hopefully they will follo through with their promise to change their financial behaviour and plan better for and the future

Sanlam MFS and MM Since it is now level 1 recruitment was no longer a problem and people were coming in numbers to attend trainings. Money fo sho went well and I promised my groups to come back with MM. Unfortunately I couldn't because the target was enough for 1 group. The challenge was that people were no longer wearing masks and had to buy disposable ones for them. That led to a thorough covid awareness as most people believe in myths than facts On one Sunday a Sanlam representative visited us to evaluate training. She was excited to see how the programme is managed. She also raised her concerns about the duration of training.

Coronation virtual training It was a great opportunity to be part of this training. Virtual has many benefits as compared to F2F. I had an opportunity to reach many people in a short period of time. These trainings brought hope to people that this is not the end but we need to plan for now and future. If the participant miss a session has a chance to read the whole conversation when he/she is available. Challenges Issuing of airtime Participants who did not have data to do pre and post evaluation However this is a great initiative and I enjoyed making impact during Covid19.

Sanlam money fo-sho financial literacy training was held at nu1 community hall. The learners showed enthusiasm and the training went very well. They didn't know the difference between transaction account and savings account , and they promise to start saving money. They were so happy about the certificates.

My session went very well considering I had older people than my usual groups,although because of the hot weather some of them found it difficult to concentrate under their masks,so I told them to go outside and get some air should the need arise.Banking is always a winner,this is where they asked the most questions.Lastly,i had this guy who was just there to disagree with everything i said WOW!!!!

Productive session with a group of chefs in training. It was a bonus that they even enjoyed the food we had prepared for them.

Training was held at Matsikeng Village. It was organised by the chief of the village who wanted training to be attended only by his chosen people in the village. Some of the village members heard about the training and they came to attend and it caused a lot of misunderstanding wich I had to step in and sort it out with the chief of the area. Amongst the attendees were small business owners who were happy to receive the training and they realised that knowing how to manage personal finances is as important as it will help in managing their businesses better. An emphasis was made on saving and investing for their future. With banking they were made aware of different bank accounts for personal finances and for business purposes. The story of Lazarus was both interesting and informative at the same time. It got them engaged a lot and helped them to understand what is Life insurance and the importance of drawing up a will. I still have to go back to the village to negotiate more training sessions with the chief.

4 days sessions on Sanlam Money Modular was most impactful in community of Khayelitsha in Town 2. I trained young people who are in college and some are doing parttime jobs. The most interesting module that they engaged on was Managing Debts. They said it is painful that their parents are working to pay debts. They said this was a great opportunity for them to change mindsets and behaviour of our people. These young people needed more of such trainings.
