“Our children are our greatest treasure. They are our future.
Those who abuse them tear at the fabric of our society and
weaken our nation.”

INTRODUCTION
Fix Your #SCARS ROADSHOW endeavors to uplift and transform our youth, with regards
to the recurring themes of bullying, personal emotional SCARS through circumstances,
leadership skills application and of course the central question‘Where can I find GOD in
all of this?’
#SCARS serves as an avenue to present a platform where teenagers can express
themselves, discover their purpose and in whom their identity is. The aim is to allow
them to make mistakes without judgment and condemnation. In addition to this
professional mentorship one-on-one and via our #SCARS mobile application will be
provided to encourage our youth to be brave and to help them discover that there
actually is NO BOX to think out of because there is no limitations put on our dreams
except the ones we put there ourselves.
“Our scars can be our damnation or it can serve as our salvation.”
- Ferdinand Gernandt, Producer
We all have issues. We all have scars we carry with us, but what if we can use these scars
to serve others. What if our scars are the keys to unlock a gigantic chest of jewels to uplift
and transform every person we connect with in our lives? Our scars could be the
superpowers all of us long for to change‘things’for the better.
-- THE STRUGGLE --
Re-BUILDING Family Foundations
In South Africa, the following challenges tear
away at the fabric of our society

• Gangsterism and drugs
• Crime
• HIV/AIDS
• Domestic violence
• Broken homes
• Unemployment
A prolific Nigerian woman author once said, “I usually make sure that my stories are from Africa or my own
background so as to highlight the cultural background at the same time as telling the story”.
- Buchi Emecheta
This quote aptly resonates with what the #SCARS project aims to achieve. The #SCARS Team wants to
take it upon themselves to encourage Teens to become part of training interventions which will enable
them to acquire new skills in digital Filmmaking, Television, Musical and Stage productions. In addition
to this the #SCARS team would strongly focus on character building to promote an active winning
nation.

Transforming Our Culture through Uplifting Entertainment!
INTRODUCTION
This dynamic project will empower young people to tell their own South African stories
through filmmaking. The stories of South Africa are many and diverse, and collectively
they tell the story of our rainbow nation. They also teach us lessons about the past to
better arm us for the future.
Film is one of the most powerful artistic media in the world; it can reach across time,
language, culture and geographic location to tell compelling stories, document events
and spark debate. For many, film and TV defines a generation, and our aim as the
producers of #SCARS - Every Teenager has One, is to enable the telling of the stories that
will record our journey.
Apart from developing and investing in all areas but with a strong focus on areas where
children has talent, but have no access to resources and mentors to build their talent,
ventures like these will also create much-needed jobs, as employment of local people
will be at the centre of the initiative which champions such development.
We have spent the last 5 years teaching on every single topic we could think of that
would help our youth to create a successful career within the industry.
#SCARS proposes a means of bringing social transformation in communities as well as
building a nation by re-imagining the relationship between different counterparts
(government, schools and civic society), but most importantly to motivate, inspire and
develop the youth.
After intensive work and preparation, the #SCARS team is delighted to finally be able to
share this opportunity with you in taking the first steps to re-igniting our future!
CAREER MENTORSHIP
We want to help kids to change their lives and skills as performers and creatorsTHIS year.
We have been working with 15+ young and upcoming artists over the past two years
and they're having some PHENOMENAL results!
Through our proposed initiative, we hope to inculcate a culture with learning and also to
provide opportunities for growth to our youth. Through this initiative, our youth could
be mentored to start up their own businesses in the Media, Entertainment, ICT and the
Education Sector. This kind of initiative is most effective when run in collaboration with
already existing youth programs.
Listen to this story from a mother of one of our graduates:
My daughter did her first mentorship program in 2014 months after finishing Matric, which
5. • Provide entertainment to uplift and
transform our culture;
• Highlight the choices each of us have
to utilize our scars - whether topical or
emotional;
• Raise public and governmental
awareness of the need for continuous
conservation and dialogue efforts to
ensure the survival of youth
showcase days later.
I had to see the show a second time, because I cried right through it the first time. The
way The Team changed a reserved teenage girl into a confident performer, more sure
than ever of her calling, amazed me!
Her confidence, stage performance, group interaction, well timed humour, on the spot
improve. Lifelong relationships and professional career guidance jumped to incredible
levels, which might otherwise have taken years to achieve.
If your child wants to get into the industry and needs an unfair but speed-induced
advantage, #SCARS is the opportunity to get it!

MOBILE APPLICATION
Through the use of a mobile application, communication between“teens with scars”
and “professional counsellors” will be enhanced. This will contribute significantly to
address the struggle and help our youth to escape the trap of social ills.
Furthermore, the app will be used to distribute the film and uplifting content in a
modern way. Imagine, counselling, similar stories of struggles and scars, the film and
a series of videos, motivational & devotional content being a click away.
The mobile application will also present features that allow people to contribute to
the foundation with ease.
Make a difference in the lives of others AND at the same time ELEVATE your
own!
-- THE STRUGGLE IS OVER –
“How can I contribute to make this world a better place?”
