The successful electronic-waste recycling programme of MES Cape Town has brought on even more success than just the many loads of e-waste received and recycled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A young homeless man, who turned up at MES Durbanville with a Mi-change voucher for a meal, recently started fixing laptops, computers, printers, microwaves and whatever other electronic equipment he could lay his hands on, says Franita Knudsen, fundraiser and marketer of MES Durbanville. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MES Cape Town, which is operating in Durbanville, Bellville and Parow, thanks the community for the great response after the article on their e-waste recycling programme was published in <\/a>TygerBurger<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe response was overwhelming. We have up to date delivered 11 big loads of e-waste to our e-waste partner,\u201d Knudsen says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something amazing and miraculous<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring this time something amazing and miraculous happened. A young man, in a broken state, turned up at MES during December. He was homeless, very dirty and on drugs,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of our Be More@MES volunteers invited him to church as is, and his life changed forever. He started serving God after a supernatural encounter and got sober instantly,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man, Chris Jantjies, started attending the Change Readiness programme at MES Durbanville and graduated as one of only five out of the 20 that completed this programme with its strict passing policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe asked us why we were throwing all the goods into the e-waste bin, as he knew he could fix things. He started fixing the items,\u201c Knudsen says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we asked Chris what his previous occupation was, as his ability is mind-blowing, it became apparent that he has no memory of his past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe woke up in Tygerberg Hospital after being in a coma for 10 weeks. He had undergone major brain surgery. The only thing that the hospital could tell him was his identity number and name. He did not even remember his own name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNobody could tell him what had happened to him or who brought him into the hospital. After being discharged, he ended up on the street. Now, three years later, Chris has new hope,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evaluate his skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Knudsen says they are currently looking for IT or electronic repair companies that would evaluate his skills to see what exactly his ability is, as they don\u2019t know what qualifications he has. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA family in Wellway Park in Durbanville took this young man into their home and he is currently working as a GROW team member at MES Durbanville. We know that there is so much more waiting for this gentleman,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe never know what brought someone to where they are at. We know that we discovered a jewel who will one day make a huge success of his life when given the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris is repairing electronic items in his off-time for an additional income to save up for a place of his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo next time you have unwanted electronic equipment taking up space in your home, think of how your waste can add value to another person\u2019s life,\u201d Knudsen says. Contact Knudsen on 082 440 7055 or cptfundraising@mes.org.za.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unwanted electronic equipment can be dropped at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 3 Davies Street Bellville: 021 949 8736 (Gerda);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 37 Queen Street Durbanville: 082 440 7055 (Franita) or<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 110 Alexandra Road Parow: 062 148 0762 (Alda).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe do not do collections and do not accept light bulbs, batteries and old-fashioned PC\u2019s,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t discard e-waste in black bins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cMES places a high value on responsible giving and recycling. We want to give back to the environment and the community by making it as easy as possible for the community not to discard electrical and electronic goods in their normal black bins,\u201d says Knudsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThese items, when incorrectly disposed of, end up in landfill sites where chrome and lithium leaks into our water. We have partnered with e-waste collectors who dispose of broken goods correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cMES in turn is receiving a percentage for goods that are resold and money for items such as whole computer screens, computer boxes and laptops,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cOur vision and that of recyclers are 100% in alignment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cAt MES we believe in recycling people too. People seen as waste and no good to society are often rejected, neglected, \u2018thrown away\u2019 and become toxic to our environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cAt MES our mission is to embrace these people, mould and empower them back to a place where they can contribute to society and serve our community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThe same with broken goods. Let us keep our environment toxic free by discarding broken items responsibly. It is a win-win for the community, environment and MES,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With Mi-Change vouchers homeless people can buy meals, toiletries, blankets, a shower or shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mi-Change vouchers can be bought at MES Durbanville or visit the Mi-Change website at www.michange.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
