“The Heroes Academy has done a good job, Junior gained confidence and he can now express his feelings. “
“Heroes Academy has been amazing for young boys like us. The coaches inspire me. They have taught me to respect other people and not become a wrong person, to be a good person in life and be a good example in the life of people.”
“To Heroes Academy I would like to say, keep doing a good job for the youth. “
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the program for teaching my son about how he should handle life, and how he should behave as a gentleman. This program has made a huge difference in his life because he used to have low self-esteem but now it’s different. Thanks to
the coaches. “
“I am very happy that my son is participating in a program like this since I am a single parent of 3 boys and 5 kids. I am hoping that he will one day also be one of the coaches or also coach his siblings, peers, and one day his own family. Enkosi Bethuna!! (Thank you!!) “
“I have seen some positive changes in him, he helps at home when I am not around and takes care of his brother. He also communicates much better than before. “
Heroes Academy has played a big role in my son’s life. He has changed how he behaves and carries himself, and his respect for elders. I have never smelt drugs in Siphesihle, Heroes plays a very big role.
“I get advised and supported to be a better man here.”
“He listens when elders are talking to him.”
“I love this workshop because it teaches us to respect people.”

“I have learned to not abuse people and to respect women and not destroy the world.”
“I have experienced different emotions in the Heroes workshop. I hope we can do this next year. I have also learned different words and different concepts that I am now using and spreading to my friends and family.”
“Heroes Academy I want to thank you guys on how you have helped my child to understand how life is. You’ve taught them how to respect and i’m really grateful for that. And I wish you guys a happy and lasting life.”
“At Heroes i experienced a lot of knowledge. I was taught what is consent, vulnerability, GBV, etc. I gained a lot of information, i ended up knowing all the words that i didn’t know and that’s all thanks to my coach.”
“To learn consent and to be a better man in the next year.”
“Heroes has helped me a lot with understanding words i did not know before and supporting me in a challenge i was facing. Heroes is fun because we also eat and play soccer.”
