Testimonies 

"Afrikans on the Rise: Three words come to mind: Pride, Knowledge, Family. My son took part in this journey and has become more wiser, curious, and conscientious. Being a part of this group opens the minds of our young Kings and Queens to strive for a higher quality of self. The family aspect is one of the joys. Our Kings and Queens develop strong bonds with each other and hold each other accountable for their actions, bad or good. The leadership is also strong and create an atmosphere where development is attainable. A definite recommendation and a 5-Star seal!
