Visits to the Mission Places in RANGNGLUA AND LANU OF Delegation of Arunachal Pradesh

We walking towards the Church and also the land which has been donated to the friars to build a school. The need of the people urgently is the school but they don't have finance to construct one....
 Hugo along with the friars marching ....

 We went around on foot and it was a joy to do so...this is the entrance of the a Bamboo Church....


 We are welcomed with dance and flowers.....Hugo happy to receive such a great and big welcome....
 Yea I am happy to be here and see your life....


 Holy Eucharist along with the Friars....
 The children and elders all gathered to be with us and listen to us....we too listened to their stories which are terrible and just cannot imagine their plight and condition....

 The mass was attended by the king and the queen and also some faithful from the Baptist church
 I am preaching the word of God in Hindi.....they all understand and speak besides their local language....

 Hugo is blessing the people.....
 The people are very simple and have a strong faith in Jesus....love the Church and the priests....



After the Mass we interacted with children....they speak English as they attend english medium schools
 Hugo is given a traditional necklace made of some stones.....

         

 Even I too received one.....



Francis, delegate of Nagaland, me and Hugo....watching the dances of the children 


After their beautiful dance, time to take a photo for memories....



Children performed action songs....they are too good...lovely sweet voices.....


 I was asked to give a short message and i did it again in Hindi....i was also the translator for Hugo who spoke in English



Another dance and the faithful all excited to see their own sons and daughters performing for us...


Delegate spoke few words of encouragement to the friars and people



 The Babies are very cute.....we hold one .....not frightened but very lovingly came to us....hope in future we will have one capuchin from here....

 After the mass all parishioners gathered in front of the church

 This is a hanging bridge made of Bamboos....very risky and scary too


 Tea gardens,,,,,,the workers are pruning the tea plants



walking through the forest.....


Hugo captured all moments.....the drinking water is a big problem here....people collect water in rainy season and preserve it....there is no water supply from the government as people live on the mountains.....they have some sources which are connected with some pipes and water comes through it.....

 The parishioners came along with us to show the land donated to the friars....
