    2022 was a great achievement for two Seychellois p 2022 was a great achievement for two Seychellois professionals, Melissa Stravens and Jemima Doudée who were the latest recipients of the Chevening scholarship, the UK government’s international scholarships and fellowships programme.
Applicants around the globe were required to apply directly through the Chevening online platform, after which the very best applicants were shortlisted and interviewed by a specialist panel at the British high commission. They had the opportunity to demonstrate how the scholarship will make a difference in their lives and communities, and how it will benefit them as a leader in their respective chosen field.
Almost 100 Seychellois have studied in the UK through the Chevening programme since 1984, going on to become leaders in their respective fields. Read Melissa's and Jemima's stories on Cosmocreole

Greetings from Mumbai 🎄💕🎁
God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it. Our daughter and sister Elaine got the ultimate gift of life 💕 Her new Lungs 💞 in the week leading to Christmas. 
She has a great team of people behind her and she is the bravest person we know. 
Elaine is recuperating very well, but still has a long way to go. 
Thank you all for the encouragement, support calls and messages during this difficult and challenging time, our family will be forever grateful. 
Let this Christmas make way for a fresh new start for everyone. Embrace the many miracles it brings along and spread the love you have in your heart. Please do not take life for granted. 
Sending our warmest wishes for A Merry Christmas and A happy New Year 2023.
Ferdinand, 💞Lucie 💞 Elaine💕

Budgeting and Sticking to it!

28 July 2020 · In: Career & Finance, Finance

Are you keeping on top of your finances? Are you checking your bank balance and squirreling away any extra money for rainy days? Are you spending more than you can afford?

Many of us struggle to save due to various reasons -don’t earn enough, a big spender or simply poor budgeting. A lot of us when we get our pay check at the end of the month we do not really sit down and do a proper budgeting for the month ahead. It does not matter how little or big your salary is because poor budgeting normally gets us into loads of financial trouble. Here’s a few tips on how to get organised with your money:


•Always be in the know of what you spend. Check your bank statements every month and keep receipts to see exactly how much you are spending every month. Make time to sit down and face your spending head on.

• You need to know exactly what your income is. This isn’t just salary, it could be money from interest on savings, gifts, money made from selling things, etc. Subtract your monthly expenses from your income to see whether you have a shortfall or money over. This will determine your next steps – reining in or making good use of any extra money.

• If you don’t know how to create a budget, make sure you learn how to create one. If you’re not a spreadsheet kind of person, try apps that help you budget such as Moneydashboard , Mint and Yolt. You can also check your spending and make a monthly or annual budget plan with a budget calculator which you can find on the internet.

• Go digital if you can. Banks and building societies all provide online banking through their websites or apps so there’s no excuse for not staying on top of things. All banks now have put in place support services to guide customers through the nitty gritty of online banking.
