Father’s Day gives us the opportunity to show and express our love and gratitude to these special people who play a big role in our lives.

For the important role fathers and father figures play in the lives of their children, families and society, we asked some of the Bokamoso children why they consider their dads to be superheroes.

While every son or daughter will have their own reasons, here are some of the heart warming messages and reasonings from Bokamoso children…
