The training at Sedibeng Municipality went well. The venue was conducive for teaching and learning. The group was active. Most participants were self-employed and needed this information in managing their business finances.

Cor-1574 Financial Skills- Money Fo Sho' Training in Town Two Khayelitsha was amazing. The attendance was 37 enthusiastic learners who chose to attend instead of the planned engagement with the Minister, therefore I knew right there and then that Avocado Vision is bound to create gigantic waves in Khayelitsha and I felt really proud.

Cor-1519 Financial Skills-Money Fo Sho' Training in Site B Y-section (deep informal settlement of Khayelitsha) was incredible. Due to people going home for holidays, the attendance was not as good as expected. But it was compensated by the interest and participation of the learners. The learners' responses indicated a sense of revival and it was as though we have had ignited a sense of looking back and understanding people's initial dreams as well as giving a way forward. Being in such environment I believe, can possibly compel one to forget who they are and what they would want to achieve in life...However, by just being there and giving me them hope through the session, it felt like we had merely reminded them..funny I don't go to church, but the circumstances forced me to train in the church..

Cor-1519 Financial Skills- Money Fo Sho' training in Greenpoint went well. I was welcomed by the community leaders of the area including the councillor. We had 24 learners who were very appreciative of the session, some were self-esteem. employed people who indicated their pride now that they have certificates and knowledge to show off to their associates. However, the majority was if young aspiring business men and women, who felt like the session would give them the wings to fly..

Training at Orange Farm yesterday went very well despite the weather. I think I have fallen in love with pensioners the way they are so inquisitive. It was my first training and my group was so cooperative and they all left at the end of the training. Some were not pensioners but they were all committed. The training was conducted in one of the participants' home so groups were in different rooms but could reach all of them by standing at the centre of the house.

The gathering started with warm welcome on the 20/11/2017 where Avo organized a brai in appreciation to all training partners. Day 2 all CEO's meet with Jules in briefing and follow up in our organizations as training partners of Avocado Vision. It was a great experience, motivating and learning session from other organizations. Lastly we meet with AVO OPS team explaining the procedure they use and their expertise from us as facilitators.
