They’re on a life mission to teach

(Seated, from left) Bro Ambrose and Bro Andrew with (standing, from left) Bro Jason Blaikie, Bro Butch Antolin Alcudia and Bro Mico De Leon, all of whom are De La Salle Brothers who have dedicated their lives to teaching.

THEY are a small band of dedicated men today, and their numbers are dwindling not just in Malaysia but across the globe because a vocation to lead a life of poverty, chastity and obedience is not for everyone in the modern world.

They are the De La Salle Brothers, an order of Catholic lay teachers whose schools, scattered around the country, are a testament to their dedication to shaping young minds towards becoming decent human beings and good citizens through education.
