Growth & Challenges

St. John Antony Farina EM School

In the beginning, we lived in a rented house as we began our mission. After one year, we started a kindergarten in a temporary shed. Gradually, we initiated the construction of the school building. By 2020, 12 classrooms were completed, and the school was shifted from the shed to its new building.

Following this, the sisters’ convent was moved from the rented house to the temporary shed. Living conditions were extremely challenging. The summer heat in Andhra Pradesh is intense, with temperatures ranging from 45°C to 50°C between March and July. There was also an inadequate power supply, which made daily life difficult. In addition, the shed’s location near a hilly area brought frequent disturbances from snakes and rats.

Despite these hardships, we remained steadfast in our mission, trusting in God’s providence and the support of the local community.
