Raoyao Li, 16, is in her second
year at the Yuzhong Vocational Training School, specializing in nursing. She
excelled amongst her peers to become one of the Goal Champions, after
completing the Go Youth! curriculum.
“I like the Financial Literacy
module in particular and it is having a great impact on me. I used to be casual
with money but after finishing the course, I realized that I should manage my money rationally
and shouldn’t spend money on unnecessary items. Once, when accompanying a
friend for groceries, I saw a beautiful bracelet that I wanted so much. Then I
remembered the session about ‘Needs and Wants’ and decided to save the money for future.”
Raoyao was selected to become a Goal champion along with 26 other girls. The girls first started sharing
their knowledge and experience to their peers in September 2012, after
receiving training and ongoing mentoring. Raoyao talked about how she
felt proud of herself for becoming a Goal Champion. She said how she is determined “to help others, just as I once was offered help
through the Goal Programme.”
