Her mother Enato Manda lost her husband and fell into the deep sea. There is no help. But the children have to put food in their mouths. She went from house to house to take care of her children and worked as a housemaid.

In this context, Maria Manda said, “Our mother has not done any inhuman hardship to make our three sisters, only brother, human.” Elder sister Papia Manda started the same job as it was difficult to run the family on her mother’s income. My mother still farms on other people’s land. However, the mother’s suffering has been successful. In 2014, I was called up for the under-14 national team. Bangladesh became the champion in the AFC U-14 Regional Championship held in Tajikistan under my co-captaincy. I was also the co-captain of the undefeated champion team in the AFC U-16 qualifiers. Then the place is in the main national team. We are runners up in the SAF Women’s Championship held in Siliguri. Under-15 Safe I was given the responsibility of captaincy.
