Wati is an Aflatoun student from Uganda and he tells us “Saving, because this money we save helps us a lot, like some time, I had saved my money and I had no books, and we were beginning the term... that was primary six second term... as the term was beginning I came without books, but on the first day they came to collect our money... they told me if you want to withdraw you can withdraw, I withdrew some and I went and bought books, so it [accumulated savings] helped me in buying books.”

This month we are hosting our four Regional Meetings across the globe. From November 24-28th Aflatoun’s implementing partners and new partners will meet simultaneously in Lima, Peru; Nairobi, Kenya; and Manila, The Philippines for intensive meetings. From December 1st-5th our European Partners will meet in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for their meeting. The purpose of the meetings is to have hand-on regional network strengthening, knowledge sharing, and dissemination of best practices for old and new Aflatoun Partner organizations and their programmes.

By December 5th Aflatoun will have completed a round up of all global Aflatoun Programmes. We will keep you updated of all the successes and stories in the December Aflatoun Talk.
