Grace English medium School 
Ballamjhora, Assam, India

In rural Assam, India there is a wonderful school that has been in operation for many years. It is the Grace English Medium School and it serves students from the local communities and boarding students from far away.  In 2022 BTCV site evaluators visited the school with long time community partners Gulshan and Milona Mahto.

The school co-founders had worked for many years to create a better education opportunity for young students.  With a land gift from the National Forrest Service and the community the school was started in simple bamboo structures.  Parents invested in the school to show that they truly wanted a better option for their students education. 

With community support some of the temporary buildings were replaced with permanent brick and mortar classrooms​.  These rooms were sufficient but unfinished. 

In 2022 the first team of Changers arrived to Hand Deliver Hope in Assam.  Funds were given to support the finishing work and new bathrooms on the ground floor of the classroom building.  This greatly improved the classroom environment for both teachers and students. 

The team was able to experience many cultural exchange opportunities that included visiting the village market, trying local clothing, music, food, a visit to a local banana farm and dance performances by students. 

We are excited for the future at this amazing school and we invite you to join us as we continue serving in Assam!
