On 3 September Monte Christo Miqlat (MCM)'s head office moved to the MCM Coffee Shop which is located on Pastorie Avenue 19 in Central Paarl. The MCM leadership
and staff are very excited about this move, because it will place the
head office in a much more centralized location in Paarl and help the
organization to more easily accomplish one of its goals...to be the
heart and face of the ministry in Paarl.

One of the primary
objectives of MCM as a charity is to mobilize the community on all fronts to help those in need. To do this, MCM partners with churches;
governmental agencies; NGO’s and service organizations in an effort to build strategic
solutions to solve the major problems resulting from poverty. Aletia Grundling, the
CEO of MCM said that “our community has all the resources available to help create a ‘care umbrella’ for children and families
dealing with poverty. As a Christian organization, we fully understand
our mandate to reach out and use all that we have to make a difference.” MCM
continues to run programs in Paarl East, Mbekweni and Wellington. The
programs are meant to address the problems of HIV/Aids, poor nutrition,
homelessness and joblessness, as well as a lack of sports and recreation
activities
and facilities, programs for youth and children, and training, education
and
leadership development.

The
leadership team that moved to this new location include Aletia
Grundling-CEO, Karen Petersen-Marketing & Communications, Tertius
Spies-Grants & Funding, and Shanon Jefthas-IT and Administration.
The MCM team is looking forward to hosting an 'open house' reception later in the year and hope to welcome many community members into their new home. Stay tuned...
