By instilling a sense of accountability and empowerment, the Boys Mentorship event left a mark on the learners of Noordwyk Secondary School, giving them the mindset and tools needed to move through life with purpose.

Fanele Matabane, a Grade 11 pupil at Noordwyk Secondary School said, “What I learnt from this experience is that you always have a choice to make whether good or bad or whatever type of situation and also that your choices lead to where you go, so everything you do in life is a choice”
