The fourth general conference of Wokha-Humtso-Elumyo Senior Youth Welfare Forum (WHESYWF) was held at Tiyi Hall, Wokha on December 19.
The event was held on the theme, “Progress through Unity” with Dr. Chumben Murry, MLA as the theme speaker.
A press release by WHESYWF stated that, Dr. Murry in his speech, encouraged the gathering to keep aside the negative attitude and inculcate new knowledge, understanding by reviving the age-old relationships.
He also expressed hope that the forum will strive towards cohesiveness based on its foundation of trust, faith and hope.
Quoting from an old adage “United we stand, Divided we fall”, Dr. Murry said that the same was applicable in all times and situations for the society to progress. He therefore reminded the members from the three villages to remain humble and strive towards bridging the gaps that hinder the principles of the forum. Short speeches were also delivered by chairmen of the native villages.
Earlier, the programme began with an invocation by Wokha Village Baptist Church associate pastor, Nongothung Kikon while WHESYWF president, Tsenpomo Humtsoe delivered welcome speech. The morning session was chaired by WHESYWF joint secretary Hajamo Murry and Renchio Murry chaired the afternoon session. Meanwhile, election of new WHESYWF office bearers for the tenure 2019-2022 tenure was conducted where Renchio Murry was elected as president, Yisanbemo Humtsoe as general secretary and R.
