Last Thursday, I sat in on a workshop titled “Interpreting Financial Statements” organized by AWDF’s Finance Manager, Gertrude and presented to the staff. Presentations like these I’ve come to found out are commonplace here which I think is a really great way of enhancing knowledge about a variety of subjects being that each person selects a topic that the person would like to share with the staff of AWDF. It also illustrates the cohesiveness, and respect that the staff of AWDF has for one another. Its really great seeing how a women’s organization works behind the scenes and I feel that for the most part, everyone is solidified and functions as an integral piece to the larger mission at hand. The working environment here is very supportive.
As for the presentation, it was very informative as it pertained to answering a lot of questions people may have regarding how to read an income statement or understanding the responsibilities of an auditor, and things along that nature. Feedback from the staff about the financial workshop was very much positive as they were keen on learning about financial concepts. I like the idea of doing these sorts of workshops in the workplace. Its quite nice and the space created here really encourages the type of dialogue and health exchange of ideas. The women here are remarkably efficient and great people to be around overall.
