PLAY! BOND! LEARN!

We at Hand in Hand EA find ResilientME! really wholesome for people who want to train on risk and risk management and financial inclusion at
large. I love the way ResilientME! brings out issues to do with savings, money management, life, the situations life presents and how one can get
themselves organized as a business and as an individual.
It also goes without saying that it is a fun tool hence delivering it is not that hard. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was for the groups or the
trainees to understand and follow and at the end of the game voice what their learnings which is great.

The game provided a picture of the unfortunate events that could happen in life. The micro-entrepreneurs were able to quickly relate to them
without having to imagine what risks could happen. I could literally feel the pain of losing the money as if it were real so I felt the impact of the game. I am sure those present shared the same experience.

I wish I had been exposed to such a board game when I was a child (age 8 yrs plus), a teenager or when I started my first job. We have all played Monopoly and understood the value of Investments, but ResilientMe is on a different level and above Monopoly purely for it's real-life scenarios and situations. ``The cards that life deals you``.

I went to the game very confident that being an adult I knew it all, but after round one and being hit with a sudden marriage which in my case could be the wedding of my daughter or son, I was immediately in the red. Then I got sick in round two. All of a sudden real-life anxieties started kicking in and as much as I was pretending to be ok, the next round hit with every utility bill. It was when my daughter came to my rescue by lending me money to salvage my situation, that I started to see through the clouds...ResilientMe is the game of the future and should be a compulsory board game at school as part of Social Studies. Every graduate starting a new job should have played this game.
