The “Men of Tomorrow: Rites of Passage” Mentoring Program was created and launched in the United States on 2011 International Men’s Day by the New Deliverance Evangelistic Church (www.ndec.net) in Richmond, Virginia. The mentoring program’s exportation from the United States to Botswana is the result of collaboration between Ms. Twala and Mrs. Odetta Wright, the Virginia (USA) Coordinator. Ms. Twala is launching a second initiative – a Literary Initiative – on 2012 International Men’s Day.-- in local schools in Gaborone, Botswana which will take the form of a writing competition. Winners of the writing competition will have their work published in a quarterly international Fatherhood and Men’s Journal -- IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD® -- which is published in the United States.
International Men’s Day (https://sites.google.com/a/imd-global.org/ international-mens-day/) was inaugurated in 1999 by JEROME TEELUCKSINGH, PH.D., a faculty member in the History Department at the University of West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago and Chairman of the International Men’s Day Coordination Committee. Observed in over 60 nations throughout our global village, International Men’s Day shares a 48-hour partnership with Universal Children’s Day which is celebrated worldwide on 20th November of each year and is endorsed by the United Nations.
