Monique Dalka

My name is Monique Dalka,

Born in France on the 05 11 1955,

Since 1985 in South Africa

In 1984 I left my home country France (Alsace)with my husband  and baby to do mission work in South Africa. First we lived and served in a township congregation. In 1995 we moved to Johannesburg to work among the children on the street and later served the community in Hillbrow through the Outreach Project of the Church of Peace.

I am a proud mother of four. Being at home has always been a privilege and honor to me: to be there for the children, to make our home a home for many others and to have time for doing voluntary work in the community.

I love the Lord, I love children, people, sharing and learning from life experiences. It is a great joy for me to see how people are being transformed by the power of love, the power of forgiveness.

Otherwise, I enjoy hiking in God’s beautiful creation, travelling, connecting with people, reading, being creative through patchwork, handcraft, etc., being still and letting myself be surprised by the goodness of God!

Mmabana – “mother of children” - was born to bring the love of God to children in Choma – Zambia. The project MCOP was started by Nosiku Kalunga, a young woman who I met two years ago in the Church of Peace in Hillbrow.

I pray that many more people will be touched by Nosiku’s passion to move things in her country and that many will join us in supporting the work done in the community of Choma – Zambia. May our dedication be a blessing to them and to us.

“To live is to love,to love is to give. One can give without loving, but one can’t love without giving.”
