October 6th was the final day of training for our new cohort of Each One Teach One, Vancity’s financial literacy training team.

We are so privileged to have access to basic necessities that allow is to live a happy fulfilled life. Through microcredit and my work at Agents of Change, I would like others to live "the good life" using the power of microloans.
