CRISIS CENTRE KUILS RIVER 

The much needed MES Cape Town Crisis Centre finally opened on the 1^st of March 2012.

Its purpose is to accommodate women in crisis. It is mainly a 72 hour facility for referring organisations, but not always. Depending on the individual in crisis it may be longer than 72 hours, but it would never be long term.

20 AUGUST 2012—Did you hear that? If the sounds were unbeknown to you; let me fill you in. Hillbrow Theatre was filled with the cheers and cries of applause this past weekend as the MES Youth Enrichment programme took the stage by storm with an enticing musical production entitled, Hold On. Featuring some eclectic musical choices and bold choreography, it was an invigorating tale depicting the trials and tribulations faced by many youth today. The vastly talented young men and women who took the stage were a refreshing reminder of the importance of family, honesty and integrity, and faith.
