Description
Hearts of Men was set up with the purpose of training and supporting men to guide and provide mentorship to youngsters in their communities. From 2001 to 2021, Hearts of Men worked with several hundred men and boys, fathers and sons, in four areas of the Western Cape, South Africa, making a difference in their lives and communities. Generation to Generation is their final publication.

Summary
This book brings together thirteen contributors from diverse backgrounds - men and women born in Cameroon, England, Scotland, South Africa, Zambia. What they all have in common is years of service within their respective communities, working individually and within projects and programmes, with both young people and adults to build social cohesion. They share stories describing the mentors, teachers, parents, coaches and colleagues who have guided and inspired them to do the work they do. They share examples of how they pass on the learnings received from the previous generation to the next. The problems and challenges faced, regarding men, manhood, fatherhood and masculinity are substantial.
