But at the same time, to develop men with kindness, who care and support others. Men with a sense of duty, honour and integrity. Men with courage and emotional strength. Men with ambition and a willingness to act and achieve. Men with a good sense of humour, confidence and self- reliance. Men who build strong networks and enduring relationships.
