Like a whirlwind, in a blink of an eye the week has zipped by since Min and I were over at the ChildFinance International Conference – A movement on Child Finance organized by Alfatoun brought together the world’s leading organizations coming to nail down the multi-faceted aspects of Financial literacy education for children. The confluence of experts in the field coming together to address issues that are pertinent in all spectrum to teaching children about money in nations, and all around the world. An exciting movement ahead!
The conference proved to provide some great validations for our navigation into the space of child financial education. The emphasis on research and the effectiveness of teaching children at a young age holds consistent with our strife for teaching children about from a young age and at the same time involving parents in the learning process.

Met some inspiring people, of which there are too many to list. If I’ve met you at the conference and we have spoke in one way or another, Thank you for being a part of shaping my experience. You would have contributed to molding my thoughts in one way or another and adding to that, the many learning lessons I took with me at this gathering.

The tour around Haarlem brought some time for great introspection and reflection. Amidst the architecture I stood in awe of, the beautiful windows in Holland, its sheer transparency almost seemed like a metaphor for the freedom and liberation that the country stood for. Significant in the land of the free. Took a quick tour of Haarlem with John Elkington, who shared much about his many years of experience in working on the many genres of ventures. Co-Authored the book, The 
Power of Unreasonable People: How Social Entrepreneurs Create Markets that Change the World. Thank you for the inspiration and excitement in Moolah!
The trip was made complete with a visit from my dear brother, Dominic who very excitedly flew in from London to spend the 3 days in Holland.
Carpe Diem!
