It was the cherished dream of M. Antonietta Sala, the Mother Teresa of Cherukkunnu to have a school for the children of the Dalits although the efficient running of Martin De Porres Hospital was already more than what the sisters could imagine. The Bakhita English Medium School was thus born in 1994. Both boy and girls are on the rolls of the school. Till 2001, the school was attached to the hospital community. To make the day-to -day administration of the school more efficient, the Cherukkunnu community was bifurcated and the sisters who were involved in the school moved to the community quarters in the school premises in October 2001. Apart from the school the sisters are involved in BCC, Sunday School, preparation of the liturgy, family visits, preparation for the sacraments, KCYM, and such other socio-pastoral activities.
