’N KOSBARE DAG VIR KOSBARE VROUE OP VROUE DAG

“Vandag gaan oor júlle—oor elke ouma, mamma, jong mamma en vrou wat elke dag soveel van haarself aan ander gee.”

Met hierdie warm boodskap het ons liefdevolle CEO, Aletia Grundling, MCM Miqlat se spesiale Vrouedagviering geopen. Die vroue van ons gemeenskap is genooi, en die belangstelling was só groot dat ons die uitnodiging op 60 gaste moes sluit!

Ons gasspreker, Lizette Janse van Rensburg van MTL Ministries, het die vroue met ’n besondere boodskap van geloof, hoop en bemoediging bedien. Haar opregtheid, warmte en liefde vir mense het diep geraak en elke vrou daaraan herinner dat sy kosbaar is, dat haar lewe betekenis het en dat sy nooit alleen hoef te staan nie.

Dit was ’n middag van saamkuier, lag, bemoediging en nuwe vriendskappe—’n geleentheid waar elke vrou raakgesien, waardeer en gevier kon word.

Ons opregte dank aan:

Danie en Mandie Steenkamp vir die pragtige geskenkpakkie wat elke vrou ontvang het.
Red Mountain Spur en Annique vir die geskenkbewyse.
Die Christelike Lektuurfonds vir die geestelike leesstof wat die dag nog meer betekenisvol gemaak het.
Brandon van ImportExportExperts het die vroue aangemoedig om as sterk pilare in die gemeenskap te bly staan.

Baie dankie aan elkeen wat met ’n oop hart gegee en gehelp het om die vroue van ons gemeenskap só besonders te laat voel.

En Cathy—jy is darem net kostelik! Jou warmte en sprankelende persoonlikheid het soveel vreugde na die dag gebring.

By MCM Miqlat glo ons dat wanneer ’n vrou bemoedig en versterk word, haar gesin en haar hele gemeenskap saam met haar groei.

Aan elke vrou: jy is kosbaar, jy het waarde en jou lewe maak ’n verskil.

A BIG SHOUT-OUT TO CARNEGIE HOUSE LEARNERS! 🧶

As part of their Mandela Day celebrations, Carnegie House learners from Grade 1 to Grade 7 lovingly made beautiful beanies for the children in MCM Tiffany’s ECD and After School programmes.

These thoughtful gifts are so warmly welcomed—especially on these chilly winter mornings! More than that, they show our children that others are thinking of them and care about their wellbeing.

Thank you, Carnegie House learners, for your kindness, and thank you to Carnegie House for your valued partnership over many years. You continue to make a tangible difference in our community. We appreciate you! 🙏💙

MEGAN THOMAS TAKES FLIGHT!

On Monday morning, Megan will walk through the doors of The Joinery in Simondium—not as a trainee, but as a full-time sewing machinist.

Megan arrived at Tiffany’s Sewing Boutique ready to learn. Stitch by stitch, she developed her skills, grew in confidence and prepared herself for the workplace. Now her hard work has opened the door to sustainable employment and a new chapter for her family.

Megan leaves Tiffany’s carrying new skills, growing confidence and the MCM Miqlat name proudly with her. Fly high, Megan—we are so proud of you!

Behind every employment success is someone willing to open a door. Megan’s appointment marks the beginning of a blessed new partnership with The Joinery, a woman-led sustainable design brand creating beautiful bags and homeware from recycled plastic and textiles.

The Joinery joins Genuine Connection and Stitch SA in creating employment pathways for trainees from Tiffany’s Sewing Boutique.

Thank you, Jo-Ann, for recognising Megan’s potential, taking hands with us and investing in the people of the Drakenstein community.

Today, we celebrate Megan - her determination, her hard work and the exciting journey ahead.
