In this book, Nic Fine and Des van Niekerk have together managed very eloquently to document the work of Hearts of Men from 2001 to 2014 and informed by their many years of experience working in youth and community development. Hearts of Men has been facilitating programmes and community-based interventions in the Western Cape for 14 years from 2001 to 2014. Our two key focus areas have been to close the generational communication gap between older men and young men and boys, as well as to actively engage with men in their roles as fathers to their own children, and as mentors to other young men. We first developed a Manhood Mentoring community-based programme, in which a group of older men (over 25 years) would go through an intensive and rigorous personal development and mentorship training, followed by a group of younger men (14 to 19 years) who would undergo training. The two groups would then enter into a mentorship agreement lasting a minimum of one year.
