For my communities they have been in the dark financially not aware of types of bank accounts & credit impact in their lives , saving methology towards their goals .Now they understand better and this will change their lives and how they behave financially . The story of Lindokuhle whos 16 yrs brough t everyone in tears . For myself to hear and see their reactions towards the training encouraged me to do more and alleviate poverty . Meet Lindokuhle eho has a 3-5 yrs saving goal of helping most disadvantaged .

I had a great experience with all of my groups, the Community Development Workers that I am linked up with by the City of Cape Town were welcoming, supportive and very excited to have a valuable training such as the Financial Skills Training to provide to the community. I could proudly say that Avocado Vision is creating quite a positive footprint in Cape Town. Even the councillor from Greenpoint, who came to receive me when I went to train COR- 1519 indicated that as the City of Cape Town they have heard of the good work that we have done in our first two sessions in Town Two and Site B and they are hoping to continue developing Khayelitsha with us going forward. On the other hand, the participants were enthusiastic and fully willing to change into beings that are money savvy; by means of budgeting, saving and investing for the future. We are currently viewed as the team that is changing the people's lives. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE PART OF THE AVOCADO VISION TEAM!

On the 11th of December I did training at Rethabiseng. The community leaders in the area are so committed in empowering members of their community. They recruited people to attend the training and they also attended to make sure the training is a success. They requested more trainings because the area has 6 sections, unfortunately I could only provide 1 as I have done my 3 sessions already. People were so active and they enjoyed new information shared. They also shared information about different scams that were tried on them. I am looking forward in having more sessions for this community n 2018. It is far from where I stay but I believe that it is important to provide information where it is most needed.

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.
