Monte Christo Miqlat | Aletia Grundling

Filmed at the 2nd 21x21 Showcase Event on 5 December 2019 at Die Bron Theatre, Willowbridge, Cape Town, South Africa. Monte Christo Miqlat (MCM) is a Christian charity located in Paarl, South Africa. They have 4 focus areas, each with a Focus leader that comes from the very community that they operate in. The focus areas are, Community Care Centre, Community Nutrition, Homeless Care and Sport. MCM was established to achieve tangible and sustainable improvements to the quality of life of society’s most vulnerable people through addressing issues relating to early childhood development (ECD), orphans and vulnerable children (OVC’s), and home and community-based issues. MCM implements projects, associated with creating stable families and where communities can peacefully exist. We provide a meal distribution programme, a day-care centre, after-school facilities and programmes, maths and literacy tutoring, the School of Drama, Creative Writing and Photography, sports facilities and coaching, and a homeless people programme that involves job creation. In their area, babies and school children live in unsafe environments where neglect and abuse are rife, and in the absence of physical, physiological and spiritual support for the children and their families, the cycle is perpetuated and this leads to slow development, illness and disease, and bad social habits. Teenage pregnancies and single-parent families are common in this area, exposing children to molestation and neglect as the young mothers simply don’t have the skills to be good parents or role-models. https://www.mcmsa.org.za/ 21x21 Online TV: Thank you very much for watching this showcase: We trust you were inspired by what you heard. We ask that you take three action steps: 1. Boost a Beneficiary by "liking" this video and forward this YouTube link far and wide. 2. Introduce us to Cheerful Donors and Proven Beneficiaries that we can consider for future events and come and support them at our Gala Event where the top 9 winners will present again for the first prize. 3. If God moves your heart to be generous, listen and obey. If you are not sure, arrange a personal meeting. Maybe your contribution can be the perfect match for the exact need of these beneficiaries. Whether it be to: volunteer your time, act as a mentor or make a monetary donation. Your decision is a direct matter between you and God because it is written: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7
