WSBAK opens school at Lalpahar

Western Sümi Baptist Akukuhou Küqhakulu (WSBAK) opened Khelhoshe Memorial English School (KMES) at Lalpahar, Tinsukia district, Assam on March 28.
 The school was inaugurated by SDO (C) Margherita, Bikram Kairi while dedicatory prayer was offered by executive secretary WSBAK, Rev. Dr. Hevukhu Achumi. 
As part of its mission initiative, WSBAK conceived to open a school at upper Assam. The school has been named after late Khelhoshe Sema who was the first and the only minister when Nagas were part of then Assam state under the chief minister of Bishnuram Medhi in the year 1957-58.
WSBAk said there are six Sümi villages in upper Assam and most of the younger generations have stopped speaking Sümi language and therefore Khelhoshe Memorial English School (KMES) will also teach Sümi language along with English, Assamese and Hindi.
The programme was chaired by Jogdang Jugli, while God’s blessing was invoked by Secretary Mission & Evangelism WSBAK, Rev. Shikuho Zhimomi.
Special song was presented by KMES students and staff and vote of thanks was proposed by GB Longtong village president, All Assam GBs’ Association, Hokheto Sema and benediction was pronounced by Pastor Tsaliki Baptist Church, Simon.
