As a result of childhood trauma Regard wasted a lot of precious time on bad habits and unnecessary addictions . Luckily hidden within his body of music he found an alleviating method through songwriting which turned out to be miraculously helpful. Thus it became his duty to share these life changing findings with the struggling youth of George, his hometown in the Garden Route who can relate to his 13 year old self.

The Social Problem: 

Within George located in the Garden Route of South Africa, struggling youth face a complex web of challenges exacerbated by socio-economic, geographical factors, substance abuse, abandonment and a lack of recreational facilities.

Our Solution: 

Teaching orphans and children with special needs how to write thoughtful lyrics and expressive melodies through basic songwriting techniques showing them how to articulate their dreams and feelings with words that are composed to be sung. Singing with makeshift rhythmic accompaniment comes naturally to our community with or without the inclusion of musical instruments.

Your Contribution: 

By volunteering, you experience the true joy of human connection when practicing the power of vocalised emotion. Your financial contributions also enable us to keep the wheels turning towards our important vision. 

The Result: 

Disadvantaged orphans and children with special needs in George with a heightened future potential free from unwanted emotional, social and health limitations expressing their thoughts and feelings on paper with words intentionally written to be sung.

The Reason: 

"In 2022 I realised that there was a different side to songwriting. The usual approach by default was to write for commercial gain with the concept originating as per the demand of the listener. After some introspection I discovered the flip side of words intended to be sung. There was something unconsciously working behind the scenes. I then reconnected with an old friend, a songwriting mastermind Clive who theoretically placed the puzzle together for me. I could then reflect back on my life and frame the powerful impact that songwriting unknowingly delivered to my being. Knowing this I had to share the tools with other people, especially young children who could benefit from this discovery. We then phoned up another old friend master songwriter Gian to embark on a journey together where we could make a difference starting with the orphans and the children with special needs in George. Since 2023 more than 30 children and teenagers have been part of our training program. The results, speechless..." - Regard Grobler
