The Heroes Foundation (HF) is a registered non-governmental, not-for-profit organization. Our mission is “to provide a source of inspiration to Trinidad and Tobago’s youth, by fostering an appreciation of Achievers and the Concept of Heroism”. HF’s focus is on showcasing the achievements of those individuals whose accomplishments have the power to inspire and motivate our country’s youth. This in turn will demonstrate to them their own capabilities to realize their potential, display positive values and contribute to the greater good of society. The HF is also committed to nurturing the tremendous local creativity and sequential art talent that is present in our youth, through the promotion of their talent in the comic book genre.

We are pleased to announce that the Heroes Foundation ’s long awaited financial report for the years 2003 --2006 is available as PDF downloads. This 56 page document, is designed in full colour and and briefly describes all the current undertakings of the Foundation.

Along with the various financial sections for all three years, the document also has statements from the Founder, Managing Director, BBBSTT Team, Youth Development Programme Coordinator and the HF's own Inspirational Media Team.

       
 
 

NOW THIS IS WHY WE COME TO WORK!
On Tuesday 18 th December 2007, the BBBSTT programme took the Matched Littles to Trincity Mall. It was a joy to hear their laughter, and find ourselves also enjoying “Alvin and the Chipmunks”.

We must thank Burger King for the delicious meal and HCL for our movie tickets. And certainly, thanks to the kids for reminding us why we're part of this organisation… and for running us ragged in the arcade. It was great fun!
