A Savings Group meeting in exactly two minutes

A few years ago, I had the opportunity of visiting a program of youth savings groups, run by Plan International and supported by MasterCard Foundation. I was in Niger and I had lugged along a tripod and a point-and-shoot camera, and was near the end of the mission and hadn't used the tripod, so I decided to film an entire meeting .

I was very lucky because it was such a beautiful meeting. It's a youth group of teens and 20-somethings. They followed the procedures they had learned so well that I annotated the video and have since used this several times in trainings. I totally recommend using this video in training. Many trainers and groups will not have ever seen such an orderly meeting. 

This video goes by so quickly that you won't have time to eat your popcorn. Enjoy!
