#5By20: How The Program is Empowering Women Sari-Sari Store Entrepreneurs

From fruit farmers to artisans to vendors, women around the world are already pillars of Coca-Cola’s business.

That’s why the people at the Coca-Cola Company are building on that foundation by implementing programs to help women entrepreneurs.

Through #5by20, Coca-Cola is addressing the most common barriers to success women face. They do this by giving them access to business skills training courses, financial services and connections with peers or mentors.

And their goal is the empowerment of 5 million women micro-entrepreneurs by the year 2020.

Tips For Kids On Managing the Piggy Bank (Infographic)

We at Angat Pilipinas Coalition are totally dedicated to bringing financial knowledge to all young Filipinos, students and out-of-school alike. We believe that educating the youth about personal finance will prepare themselves to become wise financial decision makers as they grow up.

That is why we are pushing parents and teachers to become more literate in handling their finances so that the kids will witness how they value money and how it is earned.

Parents and teachers are the biggest influencea on the way kids will manage money. However, discussing about personal finance and conducting seminars to them can be really tough. That is why we have been incorporating games, music, technology, and even social media to help them understand personal finance

This infographic from Mint.com is an example of how money should be taught to children of all ages.

The Day Aureus Died (Part 2 No More)

This is way long overdue.

But as much as we would like to give more information about the culprits, we could only do so much for now.

The investigation on Aureus Capital by the Commercial Affairs Department or CAD of the Singapore Police Force is still ongoing. However, the possibility of recovering the USD18 Million claims of victims lodged at the CAD is now almost uncertain.

Apparently, the culprits Michael Atkins and April Samson can not be located.

Meanwhile, if you are based in Singapore, you may try to reach the Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao under Singapore Press Holdings for media support.

One of their journalists, Kerr Puay Hian, sent me an email to help the victims in whatever way they can and also to spread awareness to the public to avoid becoming victims again of these scams.

Please be aware that there are still more “managed trading forex companies” around the world that are currently recruiting clients for their schemes.

You may contact Kerr of Lianhe Wanbao, Singapore Press Holdings as they are currently working on an article regarding the Aureus Capital scam in Singapore. The media outfit has been receiving complaints from distressed victims and calling them for help and they want to help them as much as they can.

Singapore Press would be willing to listen to your part of the story, as the more information they can acquire the better they could express the situation to the community, help them to gain more traction in the case through public awareness, or at least inform the public to protect themselves from such scams.

You can either email Kerr at phkerr@sph.com.sg or call their hotline at 1800-7416388.

We’re one with our friends who are victims of this big-time scam.

For now we can only coordinate with the police and the media and wait for any development. We hope that the case be resolved soon.

End of the series that never was.
