Posted by Nash Damji
Manvir (Monie) Singh Tutt is a Grade 11 Student at St George’s School. He is the award recipient in the category ‘International Service’. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because he is a cousin to our Rotarians, Reena Tutt and Sonny Parhar of Sabatino’s Restaurant.
Monie is young man with vision, drive and perseverance. Giving back to his community is a family value instilled by his parents and siblings.
When Monie was young, his father passed away leaving an enduring legacy in his homeland: a school for the poor, disadvantaged children of the Punjab region of India.
This year, Monie has picked up where his father has left off. Fundraising to keep the school open, working with the students and developing viable lesson plans.
Monie is an academically gifted student with an ebullient personality. He embraces life on all levels, especially at the 6’5 level.
Through his own experiences, he realizes how fortunate he is. In turn, it has strengthened his desire to pay it forward.
