DR. RONALD FORTUNE
The Morning Cruise was joined by the amazing Dr. Ronald
Fortune who explained to us more about Christal House based in Ottery for over
22 years. Christel House transforms the lives of
impoverished children around the world—breaking the cycle of poverty and
building self-sufficient, contributing members of society.

The main aim of Christal House is education
and a strong character development program supported by regular healthcare;
nutritious meals, guidance counseling, career planning, family assistance and
College & Careers support.
They offer global standards so that
children may confidently compete in a global world. Christal house does not
just subsidise children. They invest in them towards creating a long-term
relationship.

Ronald shared with us that anyone can
make a difference by just running, walking, or even jogging. With the owner “Christal”,
passing away in 2020, she left behind a school that would still remain
supported and an amazing staff still looking out for the children. Ronald mentioned
that they survived through Covid with help from rain wifi that allows the
children to use their tablets during school hours.
He mentioned that he loves getting the
kids involved in individual projects so that they have their own
responsibility. In terms of heading forward with the school, Dr Fortune urges
anyone to participate in the virtual fitness challenge in order to raise about R300 000
for the children. Many children come from poor communities and he shares that
those are the people mainly taking place, but he would love business people to
get involved.
Anyone that is interested can check out www.charityfootprints.com and look
for Christal House on the platform. Dr.Fortune wants to assure the public that
any donation does go to the child by a warm meal everyday.
In this world of poverty, Ronald mentioned that we become who the needy children relies on and also shared that the virtual challenge that was done gained them 150 people registering and would love more people to join.
