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.

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.
