Mary Ansila was born on 06th January 1999. She is from village Kherwa. Her father's name is Sebastian and mother's name is Teresa. Mary has two brothers Amit and Suman. Younger brother Suman is handicapped. Mary started schooling at the age of 4 from St. Savio Middle School. She got the CFCA sponsorship on 27th April 2005 when she was in grade 1. Mary wanted to stay in boarding with other girls and after getting sponsorship she started living in the school's hostel. Her parents were happy that Mary was getting a good platform of education. Mary's first sponsor was church society of America. After some time she got her new sponsors. Mary and her sponsors are regularly in touch with each other through letters. Sponsors love Mary, support her for education and want her to stand on her own feet. Earlier family's situation was pitiable. Her parents had to work hard to provide meals twice a day for the family.

As Mary grew up she progressed in studies. After grade 7, she went to 'St Michael +2 Girls' School Gokhla' for further studies. She was an average student in middle school but in high school she turned into a bright student. She always scored good marks and secured a rank between 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The good academic performance made her selected as the class leader and then as the school captain.

Mary carried School captains' responsibilities nicely & made her teachers very happy. In grade 8 she got interested in sports& performed exceptionally well in boxing, Archery and fencing. She won a silver medal in boxing at state level games, a bronze medal in archery in under-17 national level games and a gold medal in fencing at Bihar state level games. Mary passed Matriculation with first class marks and opted for Science with Mathematics stream in Senior Secondary. Mary loved solving Math sums and she always scored full marks. She completed Senior Secondary in 2017 and then went to 'Santal Pargana College, Dumka' for studying Bachelor of Science. She studied Physics as honors subject and Math as subsidiary subject. Till now sponsorship fund was enough to provide for all her educational needs but it wasn't sufficient for higher education. Therefore her parents got engaged in income generating activities like livestock rearing and vegetable farming to increase family's income. Along with that Mary started tutoring children to pay off her own tuition fees. She completed B. Sc. In 2020 and then she took admission in Bachelor in Education, a teaching course. The admission cost was Rs. 1,50,000. She managed to pay the amount together with sponsorship fund and her parents' income from livestock rearing & vegetable farming. At, present she is in second semester and studying sincerely and diligently to reach to her goal. She is preparing to appear in Jharkhand Teacher Eligibility Test after completing B. Ed. Course to get a teaching job in government education sector. Mary is fully confident to achieve her goal. Mary climbed the stairs of success because of sponsorship. It helped her to complete her schooling without any hindrance and lessened her parent's burden a lot. The CFCA sponsorship is a blessing for Mary Ansila and her entire family.
