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.

The money module was ok but slight challenge is the handouts which were on the charts, grouping learners around covid 19 pandemic so learners suggested individual copies and we reduced to A4 page for handouts. We had wonderful and informative training.

On Friday the 6th of November, I had the best Audience in Mdantsane at NU2 Section. The participants were very proactive, intrested on knowledge and appreciative of the training brought to them. There was also my best participant an old man by the name of Mzwandile. He asked relavant questions right through the session and was also sharing his own experiences with regards to the content. He was so determined that Monday he is taking his wife to the bank and his policy companies to fix all those things that were a problem all along. He emphasized how they could appreciate us coming back so we can see how different they are handling their financial issues. The attendees at large thanked avocado vision for bringing light to them.
