Friday, 8.3. – Closing off

Fourth and last lecture for Felix today, all student groups presenting the results of their field studies. The session – originally planned for 3h, is extended until 1:30 in order to settle all questions from the students, who turned out to be quite active in presenting their cases. The lecture is closed with Felix handing over the 'bible' on treasury management to Geoffrey.

Completed Balance Sheet - happy faces!

Triple C: Cash conversion completed

The Kiko Tea Company Team in action

Hold on tight - the whole wisdom of bank treasury management

In the meantime I draft the feedback questionnaires for next week’s workshop we will hand out to all participants in order to get an insight on how the event was perceived by everyone and what can be improved the next time.

At 2PM, I meet Geoffrey at HOFOKAM, a local microfinance institute where we want to discuss potential internship opportunities for MMU students with the branch manager. It seems that the branch currently has no need for further interns as the message at the front door clearly says:

The message is clear ...!

Unfortunately there is no one there today, since it is a public holiday, so we decide to meet later to discuss next week’s agenda.

Back at the Dutchess, I meet Oliver Schmidt and Felix, who finally return from the university after a long session and crave for lunch. At 4PM, my student group arrives and we go through next week, their role and some logistical questions. It is the last time we see each other in Fort Portal and we agree to stay in contact, as I am also interested in their further career as students and bankers in spe.
