School Personal Finance Awareness Campaign reflection

On the 4th of November 2009, we went to Dubai National Private School which was located in Al-Towar area. We arrived there at 8:30 and started our session at 9:00, due to some technological problems; their projector was not connecting to our laptop. But we solve out the problem by using one of the class girl’s laptop, they were very friendly and helpful. There were 17 students in the 12 grade class; we started our session by introducing ourselves and then we played a short video to let them guess what our topic will be for the session. Most girls enjoyed the video and guessed the topic right. Sara asked the students how many of them do have an account, unfortunately only 6 had. Then, she started explaining the presentation with some real examples. The students were very active and participated in our session by giving their opinions and thoughts about saving. After that, Salha did a small activity and introduced the saving method of envelops, such girls were interested and listened carefully. Later then, Shaima promoted our college by using the bookmarkers of Al Reem account and its benefits for the DWC students. Finally, we distributed the feedback forms to the students and teacher, their comments were very pleasant and we have found that some students were really thinking to open an account now, in order to save and get more as an interest. Shaikha and me were in charge of recording the session and taking photographs of the class and school.

Here are some pictures from the school :
