The journey so far..(18th May 2013)

More than one year has passed since Faith Foundation got registered (April 3rd,2013). Looking back, we know that we've been truly blessed in many ways and we are thankful to God and a lot of people who believed in us and supported us. We have been able to accomplish in this one year more than we thought we could do in terms of work, activities and programs. And we would like to take you on this journey with us starting with the inauguration of the organization on the 18th of May 2013.
We inaugurated Faith Foundation at our old office in Mawiong in the presence of our family, friends and well-wishers. The local MLA, Mr Embhah Syiemlieh officially inaugurated it and it was blessed by His Grace, The Archbishop Of Shillong Diocese, Dominic Jala. Besides them, we also had a very special person, Father Jerry Thomas (Director of Bosco Institute)who came all the way from Jorhat to be with us. He is our guide and a strong supporter since the time Faith Foundation was just an idea. Through Bosco Institute, one the co-founders, Miss Maniung Niangti received an award which included seed funding for the organization. This helped us to kick start the organization. It also exposed and introduced us to other youth-led organizations which brought valuable input to the organization in terms of funds, networking, trainings and workshops.
