Thank you Humentum for such an online workshop, which our team expected to attend for a long time. It was a wonderful experience to learn and know the universal trend in the financial management of NPOs. One of the important things I gained is it enhanced my capacity to use the skill to train the people working in the same field. After the workshop, I got a chance to facilitate one of the sessions in larger communities.
