Support Antony's Mission for Khasi Community

Antony faces a crossroads. He works with his community, the Khasi indigenous community in Sylhet, Bangladesh. In 2013, through an invitation from the US State Department, Antony traveled to the United States to represent his indigenous community on an international stage.
