New Delhi, 26 March 2013 -- For the 19 young Sri Lankan women, all born in one of Tamil Nadu's 112 refugee camps, tonight is a special night. Born in extreme poverty and without the rights and privileges of Indian citizens, these girls have struggled for a normal existence. All 19 had previously dropped out of school, and all now want a chance to excel in their communities. Newly certified graduates of St. Joseph's, these young women get to display their new skills to their friends and families.
