I had the opportunity to train in 3 towns around Free State this previous week. The encounter in all was amazing as I never did any recruitment process, the poster I put on social networks as part of marketing made interested participants approach me, organise their dates and book their own safespace. The most delivered module was "funerals and finance" and the interesting part was when they learned about underwriters and their work on policies and funeral undertakers. The Bethlehem group had 3 participants working for the government and towards the end of the session we highlighted the 2 pot system and can confidently say they were satisfied with how they received the information as they now know better and how to decide on the policy. The Fezile Dabi District session also approached me and the interested candidates number was almost double we had to group into 2 sessions also the participants were excited to learn about financial issues/discipline ways to manage their situations especially they are in a working environment with lots of engineering firms having members of the families earning better salaries however they are unable to manage it often misuse it. The motivation part is Financial literacy is important to everyone. It does not choose age, gender or individual according to the Income category. Trainees are looking forward to more sessions
