Marcella Maran Soren, a vibrant sponsored girl in her mid twenties from subproject Maheshmunda of Giridih zone is overjoyed that she has got opportunity to fulfil her long cherished dream to become an educator. She is pursuing a two years' degree course in 'Bachelor of Education' from 'G.D. Bagaria Teacher's Training College' at Giridih, Jharkhand. She has been availing support from the CFCA sponsorship program since year 2001. Back then the situations in her family were disapproving and being chosen for the sponsorship program proved to be a blessing for Marcella and her entire family. With the timely monetary support of her generous sponsors she studied in good missionary schools which developed a rational thinking mind in her and she decided to become a teacher. Education is the most precious gift that one can gift to another and she chose to share her gifts with others.

Marcella's mother attended various CFCA conducted trainings, seminars and workshops and got encouraged to take a loan from the SCMG to start rearing milking cows. She bought two cows and now she is selling cow milk. Currently she supplies cow milk to 18 households daily and earns Rs. 520 in a day. Now she has fixed monthly income of Rs. 15000 and it is a great achievement for her.

Marcella and her family overcame the unfavourable conditions through their hard work, determination and with the support, inspiration and guidance that they received from CFCA. The day will soon arrive when they too will be in a position to help and guide others and will contribute to the betterment of the society.
