Another case of Assuntarians who give rather than get

The late Sister Enda must be like a proud Mother who sees her grown up children giving back to the society.She practises inclusive education as i remember how on certain events,she would hold brief extracted readings from the holy texts of all religions like Hindu texts,the Quran,The buddhist dhammapada and the bible.She taught us to respect the universal values taught in all religions.so she must be proud at how her girls rose to contribute to Malaysia from Zeti Aziz,Dr Jemilah,Dr Hartini of Yayasan Chow Kit,Nurul Izzah and Maria Chin Abdullah.but i found a pleasant surprise when i saw a video by the alumni on Youtube that the public intellectual Martin Jacques wife a Malaysian Indian lawyer who passed away in Hong Kong was also a. ex Assuntarian and to honour her a trust fund was created the Harinder Kaur Veriah fund for Assuntarians who come from poor families with allowance for tuition,school fees,unforms n shoes all paid by the trust fund.What a good legacy to enable young girls to have a good education.Sister Enda would be happy to know her effort to instill love,kindness and charity lives on in the many generations of Assuntarians both past and present.Thankful our seniors contributed so we could have a brass band,good quality sports equipment for the gym,art equipment and library books.its the same values on importance of education that prompted the early Chinese immigrants to build schools,funeral parlours and hospitals for the disadvantaged.
