For the months of October and November I have trained 4 Ikhaya Fo' Sho! and 2 Coronation In Depth workshops. The common trend with all workshops has been the enthusiasm and eagerness of Participants to imbibe the knowledge and skills during training. Another commonality has been the erratic numbers of Delegates attending the sessions. I have experienced on several occasions cancellation of sessions due to very minimal numbers of Delegates pitching up, notwithstanding incidents where participants had confirmed their attendance the previous day or two before the workshop. With Catering having been prepared a day before, this puts one in a very disadvantageous situation where you have to give the food away and in the process incur some losses. i am wondering how Avo can help in such situations, to come up with ways and means of assisting .

The training took at Cato Manor, where students were trained. Some students had learning challenges. The training went well, however it took long because of students with special needs. I have planned to go back and re-train them as some needed more time to understand some concepts. The issue of pictures had to be attended with the lecturer before the start of the training.
Coronation financial literacy training took place at Cato Manor from 23 to 26 October 2018. It was delivered to college students. I had more than 32 students because of the interest and the stories shared by other students who attended the training in August. There was a challenge with taking pictures as the lecturer had a bad experience. Some trainers took pictures for students and shared on social media with negative captions. However the training went well and more students wanted to be trained but could not because of the space and resources.
Both Coronation and TUHF programmes were very hectic and fulfilling at the same time. Delegates in both programmes felt motivated and raring to go out there in their Communities to embark on Projects addressing the needs of their Communities while at the same time creating income generating opportunities, iutilising their talents and skills in the process. This was only possible after , besides facilitating Financial Management programmes, motivation of Delegates has become an integral part of facilitation ensuring Delegates do personal introspection of what Skills and talents they possess which they can utilise effectively to realise their dreams and goals and in the process also create employment to their immediate community members.
Many participants enjoyed module 1,2,3 and 4 We had a great experience with the members whom contntiued till the last day

It has been very good to here from the candidates that have already started their small green businesses , walking with them in every step of the way is challenging but a very good experience taking you out of your comfort zone .
COR 3351 : MODULE 2 STORY : Facilitating this session in a school has been fascinating as these students really relate to the module and are actively participating especially the accounting class as some of the things we talked about are in their curriculum , it was very encouraging having them engaging in that way .
