The Sisters strongly believe that it is only through values-based holistic education that children from poor families would be empowered to break out from the shackles of poverty.

This is in line with the vision of the founder of their Infant Jesus religious order, Nicholas Barre, who tried to make basic education accessible to all especially poor children in 17th century France.

Looking at the rampant crimes these days and violence in pg, Kl and now kuantan threatening…, threatening arson because of certain word, what is hudud actually?
