I was lucky enough to attend one of the sessions. I think it really brought home to us, the nature of the work we are doing. People genuinely needed to learn about how to manage the little money that they had. There were tears, fears, faces that bore such hardship, laughs, and nods of acknowledgement. There are so many South Afircans that will benefit from this work. Thanks to all who had a hand in getting the pilot up and running. And a special thanks to Nomsa.

Nomsa, what a treat to watch you at work. By the time I attended a session you had been training for 4 days. You held the energy in the room brilliantly. It takes something to be able to keep up the mood in a room when you are dealing with people who earn so little and are trying to survive. Well done!
We have been hard at selling this concept to the big players in the financial market and it was a priviledge to see hard work put into action.
We should never forget why we are doing this, to empower people to stand on their own to feet, and I saw people learn and grow throught his training. The methodology used helped people understand a lot of information and make decisions about their lives.
This work will impact people on a core level and change peoples lives!
