We started supporting this case from last June through external funding based on a request that came from Fr Augustine (Guwahati, Assam).
Excillina and her family is from Garopara village in Goalpara district , Assam. It's a tribal belt and there's hardly any one from that community who goes for further studies even if they complete 10th or 12th , primarily because of financial problems. There are no colleges nearby and most of the girls get married at very young age as there is no scope for further studies. What I have been told is that she is the first girl from her community to pursue higher studies and hopefully she will inspire many !!
