The NDC recognized a significant potential to impart knowledge
on financial literacy, banking, inflation, and other pertinent
subjects pertaining to the contemporary economic landscape to
the youth. Education had to start at a very young age tailored to the
comprehension level of the young children. At a young age, it was
crucial to support young individuals in fostering a responsible and
well-prepared mindset towards behavioral transformation in the
context of financial literacy.

The event was participated in by Kindergarten to highschoolers at
Academia Avance Charter, Edward B. Cole Sr. Academy, and Eastwood Elementary;
Storytelling was also live-streamed to the La-Mirada school district, reaching 1,600 students.
The Storytelling ran for an hour and a half with an opportunity for
audiences to pose reactions, leave comments, and ask questions.
The event was participated in by community bank CRA
officers, MDI, regional banks, as well as organizers of respective
schools. Both sessions on March 11th and 12th were successful and it was truly an honor to have the former chair read her series of Money Tales books to the students.
