Sushila writes: "Fatima Convent High School is considered to be a premier institution for school education in Margao. For parents, the school is a natural choice for their daughters. There are many good schools, but the brand Fatima Convent stands out." Sr Theresa Mary, originally from Siolim in Bardez, nourished this brand for 12 years, first as senior supervisor and later as headmistress. It was her foresight and motivation that encouraged the PTA to collect funds required to build a new wing. Another building is also under construction. For the past two years, she struggled against all odds and bore the pain and suffering of her terminal illness, says the obit. Tribute to Prabhakar Vaidya, freedom fighter, in Gova Doot.
