Resilience amid Challenges…
This community emerged even stronger after an incredibly challenging monsoon season, bringing major flooding to Good Shepherd Agricultural Mission (GSAM) campus and community. Relationships built over decades were tested and strengthened through collaborative recovery efforts…redefining their commitment to stand together in times of need.
Daily challenges such as frequent power cuts (3-5 hours daily) persist, GSAM remain focused on building a brighter, more connected community. Together, they are not just surviving but thriving—turning adversity into an opportunity for growth and unity!
Exciting Campus Developments…
Major upgrades are underway…new retaining wall, stadium-style steps, benches, pathways, lighting, drainage, and gardens, making the campus more cohesive, welcoming, and better equipped for the future.
Agriculture and Education Updates…
- Despite flood damage, the rice paddy harvest continues, albeit with reduced yields.
- The Mission University program excitedly welcomed three new students pursuing degrees in Dehradun.
Empowering Staff and Students…
- Their female staff enjoyed a rejuvenating 4-day mountain retreat, returning with a renewed sense of purpose.
- GSAM revamped their professional development sessions for teachers…fostering inspiration and growth.
- Ten students were reunited with their families during the Diwali holidays.
