Aura first learned about social and financial education in the centre where she worked as an English teacher. Training changed how she thinks about money and other resources. She became a passionate advocate for healthy resource management planning and saving. For the past few years she has helped teenagers understand and practise healthy financial and entrepreneurial behaviours. Aura could see the impact of these learnings on her students, and in one student in particular whose saving plan paved the way for a brighter future.

“They started making… financial plans with a goal in mind. Okay, so I need to save this amount in the next two and a half years. What are my steps? They already have a very well-developed plan to do that.”
