One of the participant Jessy said: Hi, i attended the the Training for Educational and Charitable Institutions since I am connected with a corporate foundation/trust and I found it very useful. What I liked about the program was that 1.It had multiple presenters who were experts/authorities on various subtopics, 2. The overall topic was well covered, 3. the timing was good -not too long not too short 4. and most importantly this is an area where it is usually not possible to get training. Thanks a lot! (See this in the 'Comments' section)
