About Us
More than three decades back, as a young 13 year old boy , Sylvester, founder of MY Angels Academy (MAA) comprehended the true meaning of success and happiness which lies not with one but with all. He embarked on a transformational journey through love and football giving “ANGELS” to us.
As Sylvester affectionately calls his students at my angels academy, “Angels “are the underprivileged children. MAA is a phenomenal story of transforming these children who were rag-pickers, petty thieves, drug addicts and even religious fundamentalists to “angels “of dignity, honesty and respect.

OUR WORK
What “angels” learn at My Angels Academy?
We aspire to have a positive impact on society and to return the underprivileged children their childhood. We also ensure that these two core value/aims are imbibed by each one of our angels("children under our wings”) i.e. to become “self reliant “ and to become “good and caring human being”.
- Football (as the emotions on the ground are similar to the real-life situation)
- Logical discipline with lots of Love and affection.
- Education including English speaking and computers.
- Yoga and Aanapana meditation (non sectarian technique)
- Dance, Theatre, painting
- Spending time in nature and caring for environment
- Karma yoga (seva)
- Most of the volunteers in My Angels Academy are Senior Angels.
All these activities help to channelize the energy of these children into positive direction and real transformation.
