I’ve met Lorna & her kids when they were at the MoneyTree Workshop. My 2 other kids (Grace 13 yrs & Alfred 11 yrs) were there with them.
As a parent, I am very concerned about our kids, and that they have a different “mindset’ from us. I felt that Academic Excellence is NOT the MOST Important thing that I want my kids to be “obsessed” with.
The World is ever changing, and the pace of life is going to get “Faster” & “Faster”. We send out an email, and a reply that doesn’t comes back in a day, spell something is wrong.
My kids attend a few of the MoneyTree workshop, and there’s a gradual growth in them, that others around us are telling us what they can see & sense.
Alfred & Grace regularly reads about World & Biz News on The Straits Times, they are reading more books, they put Money aside every week and go deposit their savings at the POSB at least once a forthnight.
They look at some of our bills, especially handphones & credit cards, and they are more aware of the value of things we spend on.
My 8 yrs old Michelle attended one MoneyTree Workshop, but has tagged alone to other Preview Sessions, gets to learn about Demand & Supply, inflation, etc.
Michelle would put aside money that she’ll spend, save and donate, and bring the money and donate all by herself when she attended the Children Mass on Sunday. It was not the amount, but the Habit & her willingness to care about the poorer people in our society.
If you want to know more about how this programme impacted them.
Feel free to contact me.
Great Job to all the Trainers of MoneyTree.

Hi Emma Obi,
Thanks for asking.
Currently, we are only running MoneyTree in Singapore & Malaysia. If you happen to come to Singapore for holiday, you can let us know and if there are any sessions, you can get your kids into our programme.
Hope this helps.
