IMAGINE 13-year-olds talking about the effects of inflation and how the misuse of credit cards can result in serious debts. Most kids at that age would rather talk about Playstations or the latest video games but not the participants of the Money Tree programme.
Over the past 11 months, My Money Tree Sdn Bhd has educated hundreds of schoolchildren and exposed them to financial issues such as the impact of inflation and more complex issues, for instance, futures and commodities.
According to My Money Tree Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Gerard Lim, the programme is created for children to learn in a practical way about money principals, how to become a better investor and most importantly to learn how money relates to their life and people around them.
“Along the way, the kids will also learn about positive values of networking, co-operation, being self-confident, competitiveness, value of reading and following current affairs and many others.
