The Department of Social Affairs is inviting residents of San Nicolas and surrounding areas to attend a free workshop titled “My Relationship with Money.” The workshop will take place this Saturday, November 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Lago Heights Community Center. It will address people’s relationship with money, budgeting and managing the emotions that can arise from financial difficulties.
Organized by the department’s Social Guidance Section in collaboration with the Life and Family Section, the workshop will take place at the Lago Heights Community Center. Participants will learn practical ways to prepare and manage a budget, as well as how to deal with the emotional challenges that may accompany financial situations.
Marceylaine Paskel, spokesperson for the Department of Social Affairs, explained that the workshop is free of charge and will be the department’s final workshop of the year. Although the invitation is open to the general public, special attention is being given to residents of San Nicolas and surrounding areas.
Interested participants can register by sending an email to [email protected] with their full name.
Parents with children ages 4 and older may also bring them along, but are asked to mention this in their registration email. CEDE Aruba will provide activities for the children through its WOW mobile unit, where they can play while their parents attend the workshop.
