V-Models will host an inspiring Teen Spirit Workshop on April 26 at the MTR Smit Children’s Haven in Gqeberha.
This charity outreach programme will offer a safe space for local orphanage teens and community teenagers to confront challenges such as depression, bullying, low self-esteem, and self-confidence.
The workshop, which is set to highlight the theme “You have been created with purpose,” aims to inspire and equip teens by addressing these issues in creative and empathetic ways.
“Our teens are our future,” said Venessa Versfeld, founder and CEO of V-Models. “As pressures on teenagers rise, this event is dedicated to helping them rediscover their worth and find validation from within.”
Teen Spirit boasts an exciting line-up of special guest speakers, including Mrs Port Elizabeth 2025, Jeantelle Price, Life Coach Tania Du Preez, Youth Ministries’ Rebekka Kirsten, and Mrs Universe South Africa 2024 finalist, Mariska Van Blerk. The event will also feature Megan Capoto as its Master of Ceremonies.
Workshops and activities on the day include:
• Hair workshop by Bella at Beauty Bar, Izabella Zandberg
• Skin care workshop by Ashes to Beauty, Lenelle Karshagen
• Modelling workshop by V-Models
• Fashion show featuring Pretty Little Things by Erianca Pelser.
Further adding to the event’s allure, Shane Delport Photography will capture the memorable moments, and stunning décor by Edna Tessendorf from Wedding Package will complete the experience.
“This event is about more than workshops; it’s about creating hope and a brighter future for our youth,” said Versfeld. To register or make enquiries, contact Versfeld at 079 536 2818. Tickets are priced at R100, with all proceeds going directly to the MTR Smit Children’s Haven – and are exclusive to teens, ensuring a focused and impactful programme.
“Join Teen Spirit on 26 April at the MTR Smit Children’s Haven to celebrate empowerment, self-discovery, and the vibrant potential of our youth,” Versfeld concluded.
