Training Tour Guides in Port St Johns (OR Tambo District Municipality) was special because I was training people who will go out and use this training immediately in their businesses. The group was interactive in that they wanted to know more on Savings, Banking and credit. There was an epiphany when they seemed to think that Business finances were more important than taking care of personal finances, so I created a scenario where one is negligent on their personal finances which affects the business finances and functionality of the business.

One of the most impactful sessions that I have been involved with has been the training of Tour Guides for OR Tambo District Municipality, mainly because I feel that this training will help them the most as they will be starting their new businesses as Tour Guides, therefore the training came at the right time so that they can start making good decisions from the onset. Both Group (Port St Johns and Coffee Bay) were quite interactive and asking questions that were more related on their business finances than personal finances, but once we highlighted the important of taking care of your personal finance so that you can manage your business well and how this can have an effect of your business. They were also quite interactive with the Banking Module, understanding their banking needs prior to opening a bank account.

Sanlam Project- Money Fo Sho financial literacy training was held at Philippi in Siyangena informal settlement on 15 Sept 2020. The committee organised participants and the venue. The training started on time and successfully. Community of Siyangena appreciated the training, they said because they live in informal settlement they hardly get such programmes most of these programs they go to people who have all the services. They asked get more programmes. They learn on how to draft a budget, making saving goals, prioritising needs from wants, insurances, keeping their money safe, types of bank accounts and difference between cash and credit. I am looking forward to bring more programme for that community as they shown an interest on learning about Financial Literacy.

I would like to share my report of the Sanlam money fosho project which I was busy with at ext 10. First of all the area I trained in it is an informal settlement area and so many people are unemployed, others are owning small businesses. It was a great experience to train the young and old about unforseen events, how to manage Debts, and Banking aswell as how to manage ones personal finance. They community accepted the training and they even asked for indepth modulers. Every day I had massive numbers and many to they don't have phones. And the area has no electricity. They do have water and sewage. Attending the 6 hour training and getting certificate from Sanlam it was so grratfull and many promise to change the behaviour. And to start afresh. The area has so many mashonisa illegal leaders

Cororaton money fo sho modular was done over 9 modules and many people appreciated the new information as it enables them then to take informed decisions regarding their finances. The risk module and credit did speak to their challenges theg were experiencing, boosting my Income reinvigorated their spirit of vukuzenzele and ageing in grace actually brought the possibility of saving for retirement without having a formal job, So the training really empowered my participants to behave better in future financial dealings
