Message from the Principal

It was by providence that I stumbled upon the hitherto undiscovered ‘thread of urgency’ that lay bare and untouched for years, interweaved between the tribal villages around Kombuthooki. Ever since we reached Koravankadu in 1999, we have moved forward with enthusiasm and empathy to uplift and liberate the first generation learners of this interior tribal habitat, with one agenda viz. ‘Education’. Starting with the little we could collect from the generous students of Montfort AI and Deshayes Mount Schools and full faith and trust in His Providence we moved forward.

Our Vision & Mission

💡

Vision

We envision the upliftment of the less fortunate and marginalized children hailing from the 22 tribal villages and hamlets around Kombuthoooki, without any cultural or gender bias. We aim to liberate and empower these "first generation learners" from their ignorance and socio-economic conditions through free and Holistic education along with curricular and co-curricular activities and "life-oriented skills".

 

🎯

Mission

Inspired by the Mission of God's beloved Son, who came to uplift the poor and the marginalized, we walk the same path in empowering the less fortunate children, the youth and women struggling for justice and a dignified living.

We strive hard to achieve excellence and all round development to bring about change and transformation among the tribals deprived of life's opportunities, by providing comprehensive value based education, health care and life skills in a loving and caring environment. Day after day, we listen to the call of our Master to serve all men and women, irrespective of their caste, creed and gender after the model and example of Mother Teresa, the angel of Mercy.

"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Mat: 25/40.

Unposted Expressions of Gratitude and Reverence From Past Students, Teachers and Parents

Recently, a news reporter visited the community school and the surrounding villages. He interviewed some of the students, staff, parents, and members of the public. Here are some of their views…

Montfort community centre is a gift of God to transform the society. It is a blessing for the underprivileged; it has opened the eyes of the tribals who did not know the value of education. It is leading the people from darkness to light. It picks even the withered flowers and makes beautiful garlands. The creator of the garden is our kind-hearted principal Bro.George.

Montfort Community School is a gift to the tribal of this hill. This is a model developmental project and beacon of light for those who want to learn and serve. This may be considered as the 8th Wonder of the World.

Mr. Antonyraj - Ex-Staff Member

Three of my children are studying at the Community School. In the beginning, I was worried because there was no one to look after my animals or help me with the small land I have. But today, I am a proud parent seeing my children learn and grow through education. We will never forget Bro. George’s contribution.

Montfort community school has brought much development to the area- the Principal Bro.George brought to the knowledge of the government our deplorable conditions. So, we have roads, transport and electricity. This place would have remained underdeveloped and our people uneducated for many more years. We are grateful to Bro. George’s timely intervention.

Montfort Community School has transformed us all into respectable human beings. The health centre is a great blessing. Brother has made our area well known through this project and other development activities. The practice of child marriage has been abandoned, and the standard of our lives is rapidly improving. Now, we have electricity, communication facilities, transport and postal services. Earlier, no one respected us - we were often sent away when visiting offices. But now, people treat us with respect and listen to our complaints and problems.
