I Am the Engine’ is a Red Bull documentary series that portrays ten inventors and visionaries who are taking risks and overcoming failure to find solutions that benefit their communities. Waves for Change mentors Chemica and Lux are community-based mental-health practitioners, who are changing lives of youths in their communities through the power of surf therapy. Watch their story, and be inspired!
Up to 20% of young South Africans are effected by Post Traumatic Stress. Waves for Change is pioneering a winning formula of surfing and evidence based therapy programming to break the cycles of violence that keep South Africa’s youth from their true potential.
