Sheronique Noordman is a young lady that participated in the Young people and money session. She was very keen on the information and said that the session has really opened her eyes to work better with her money.

Truffle was covered in August, it was not the full class but people were more than the number, but they understand and be part of the training, it was a very successful training, people were asking so many questions because they were new, and interested in this program as well, which made them to invite more people to attend another program, we are doing a very important work to the community 80% they recognize and appreciate what we do to them, once again thank you Avocado and the Team.

On the 29th of September - 1st of October I was doing Sanlam MFS and MM, it was a great opportunity for the community to have free financial skills which they always pay money for such information, some they travel from the farm to the community jut to get the free information, to work on the Rural areas made me a very passionate person as well as the respect I get from my learners and the community, this show how important it is to our communities. I am so proud to call myself a freelancer and changing people's lives🙌, when I was invited at the clinic for the next coming training, that shows me how important is this training.

More than Enough financial skill was held in the in City and in the Rural areas, it was a successful experience in all the ECDs and the parents, it has left them with an idea of how are they going to do their financial planning, learning about needs and wants was very helpful and understanding of their budget. The main challenge is the parents attendance, during the week is very poor, from now on the ECDs they recruit each other, because of this interesting program we bring to our communities. More to grow is one of the most powerful activities, that also open their parent's mind, they've been doing it but not aware of enough to grow. Thank you, Avocado and the Team.

I had the privilege of training employees from various corporate sectors on the critical skills of boosting income, budgeting, and managing debt. The trainings provided valuable insights that not only impacted their personal finances but also enhanced their overall financial literacy, enabling them to take more control over their economic well-being. By the end of the sessions, it was evident that the training had a profound effect on participants, fostering greater financial confidence and a renewed sense of purpose in their approach to budgeting, increasing income, and managing debt.

Avocado Vision in partnership with Sanlam we have manage to reached out 120 workers at Slulumanzi to contribute towards make better decisions in Managing their debt better and buying the big ticket (the Car and a house). It may sound as general term but has come to my realizing while conducting this session, interacting with participants that most of them lack financial life skills more especially in debt management. Thobeka Mhlanga said "When we succeed in loan or credit application it comes to my understanding of our ignorant in terms and conditions as they are not well explained to us by creditors that affects our future payments for an example the reporate interests rate . For my experience its not a well explained path by creditors . Thanks for this program to open our eyes towards what are the considerations that creditors look at when give you credit including: credit profile, credit score and the need of reflecting in credit bureau as someone once had a credit that assist you when buying a big ticket". Financial life skills training programs its highly in demand to most worksite space, because if 120 workers have financial management challenges how many more have the same challenge out there.

On the 26th of September 2025, I had another great opportunity of training the youth of Vukani Community Project, at Umlazi section C. The number of participants was less than expected, but those who attended were very much impressed with the knowledge they gained. I trained them on two modules, Money safety and Managing debt, which was very important as most of them have not started their financial journey. they were very excited to learn about different types of scams and promised to be vigilant when they start earning their own money. One of the older ladies shared her story where she was called by scammers, pretending to be from her cellphone network, luckily, she discovered that she was being tricked to reset her sim card. They participated enthusiastically, working in groups with excitement. They came up with amazing ideas of keeping the money safe. They requested more sessions in future as they believe they needed more information on money management before they start working. It's good to see young people interacting in financial literacy sessions.
