About UsJust for Assam (JFA) formed when a group of friends living in the UK met up in the autumn of 2008 to discuss ways to contribute to the betterment of the land they have had inalienable ties with: the north-east Indian state of Assam. Known as the land of the red river and blue hills, Assam also suffers being ravaged by natural calamities, insurgency problems and other socio-political issues. Yet many continue to be hopeful the once peacefully happy land will restore herself to thrive. The group has since been extending their welcome to all Assamophiles and continues to grow. If you’d like to learn more about Assam, here’s a good article to start with.
