Over 10 volunteers and 30 man and woman hours this week have transformed this classroom. PAUSE is peace, time out, a much needed opportunity for reflection.

It is vital that young people learn to manage money well so they can save, plan, assess risk and make informed decisions. It can mean the difference between a life of debt and a life free from debt.
