On Friday the 25th of August 2023 our founder went to TA Academy to talk to their students about Financial Literacy and after his speech the students presented business plans that they had put together in groups so that Viwe could go through them and provide feedback. Each group's plan was in a different industry which showed their creativity and the groups even assigned members specific roles in the company to show that they know the different roles in a company. The whole day was eye opening and we are so proud to have engaged with young people who have so much drive and potential.
