I am honoured to be appointed as the Chairman of the Board of Governors for Montfort Boys Town for the period from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2016. What Montford Boys Town is all about is given below:
Montfort Boys Town (MBT) in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia has been nurturing youth from poor, needy dysfunctional families, poor single parents & orphanages since 1959. These youth for many reasons, are outside the sphere of the formal education system. The families and guardians of these children would seize any opportunity to turn around their hard and vicious cycle of poverty. Montfort provides this opportunity to nurture these groups of less fortunate youth in picking up a vocational skill and undergoing a program of character formation to face a more positive future.
The silent cry of many parents or guardians is “What future would my son/daughter have if they are unable to cope with secondary school education?” To write them off as outright failure means we are writing off our hope and future, and giving up on their right to a future. To reverse the situation of those who seems not so attracted to formal academic subjects, Montford Boys Town offer an innovative teenager rebound program. These youth walk into Montfort with no skill, no hope and are not able to see their potential for the future. When they walk out of Montfort after 2 years of residential training, they are armed with skills, discipline, confidence, hope and a job. Since its inception in 1959 to 2013, more than 6,000 less fortunate youth have successfully graduated and are contributing as part of our nation’s workforce.
The existence of Montfort has been made possible with the continuous support from our Benefactors, Donors, Sponsors and Friends of Montfort Boys Town. With the escalating cost of living and many requests from desperate families but with continued generous contribution and support, we at Montford are confident to continue serving God’s poor.
Friends and Donors of Montford Boys Town, even if you can help one dropout teenagers from going down the wrong path, it means a lot of hope and future for the family and the nation.
