Why AES?
Why AES?
Since its founding 70 years ago, AES has been a refuge, a safe space for youths of diverse races and religions to gather. As a mission school with the values of C.H.R.I.S.T: Compassion, Humility, Respect, Integrity, Sense of Responsibility and Trust, the vision for the Document for Human Fraternity is exceptionally relevant.
What the school seeks to do is a long-term youth impact project inspired by this document, to introduce an inspired communication and convening method for youth engagement to become leaders for human fraternity. So far global initiatives for human fraternity have been adult- focused and less youth-based, this is where we see an opportunity.

Dinan [dee-nun]
One night while returning from a mission in Dinan, Montfort found a beggar all covered with sores on the street and shivering from the cold. He carried him on his back and brought him to the mission house. The door keeper of the house where he stayed was very much astonished to hear him knock at the door one night and cry aloud several times: “Open to God!” He took the sick man to his own room, laid him on his own bed and spent the night nursing him. Montfort sees in the poor, the person of God Himself.
