Community involvement
For some years now, Giovanni and Mariangela have been making a modest contribution to support The Goedgedacht Trust.
The Goedgedacht Trust was established in 1993 around the donation of a farm called Goedgedacht, which is located on the slopes of the Kasteelberg just outside Riebeeck Kasteel, some 85km north of Cape Town.
The Trust is run by a Board of Trustees and supports a number of initiatives, principally the Path out of Poverty (POP) program, which seeks to transform rural communities, by offering the most recent generation of children the opportunity to become healthy, self- confident, educated young people who are then able to take up leadership roles in their own communities. The POP centres focus on Education, Health, Personal Development and Care for the Planet.
WPS has recently adopted this initiative as a means of involving our team in a regional initiative which seeks to uplift previously disadvantaged communities and allows all our staff to make a difference to nation building.

Estate Planning is Much More Than Just a Will

Back to Budgeting Basics: Spend Less on What Matters Less
Mention the word “budget” and enthusiasm tends to go up in a puff of smoke. The B word suggests fewer dinners out, cheaper holidays and the uncomfortable business of working out where last month’s money went. Budgeting is usually presented as an exercise in cutting back. But used properly, a budget can reveal how much is going towards things we barely value anymore … Often at the expense of things we would much rather be doing.
