Today we’d like to introduce you to Mark Meyer.
Hi Mark, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My name is Mark Meyer I grew up in South Africa, Cape Town. I moved to Miami in 1998. I went to Miami Edison Sr. High were I graduated from. I continued my education and got my master’s degree and felt that it was not enough for me. I wanted to impact society in a positive way. I started my own nonprofit organization 501(c) 3 Me’Yer Deus Foundation in which we mentor the Youth. The foundation also help school students in Haiti. We have a community computer lab which we call Project Shalom. We also have a back to school event every year for the students at Bastion school in Montrouis Haiti as well Miami and Austin Texas. We feed the homeless community in Miami, Orlando, Florida and Austin Texas. We have grown so much that we want people to know what we do for the City of Miami.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
I use to speak at different schools, churches and community events. The struggles we faced was the closer of public places due to Covid19. Things are getting better now but we had a major setback due to those regulations.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Me’Yer Deus Foundation?
