Total proceeds to be donated
to the displaced people
Dimapur, March 10 (MExN): To express solidarity with the Rengma Nagas of Karbi Anglong, who were dislodged from their homes following the recent violence, internationally acclaimed Naga musicians have decided to raise fund by staging a musical concert, whereby the total proceeds would be donated to the affected victims.
Renowned Naga musicians including Alobo Naga and the Band, Zowe Madrigal led by Nise Meruno and world acclaimed guitarist Joey Woch will stage a musical concert on March 15 at Rengma Baptist Church, Khermahal, Dimapur, from 5 pm onwards. The musical show has been initiated in association with Spark - Venture Production – a nonprofit social organization – on the theme ‘Light your world.’
In an interaction with the media persons this afternoon at Hiyo Café, it was made known that thousands Rengma Nagas are languishing in relief camps without basic necessities. The organizers informed that about 500 Rengma Nagas are languishing in two relief camps in Shantipur and about 2,500 persons in Silonijan relief camp.
It was informed that 100% of the proceeds of the concert would be donated towards the welfare and improvement on the condition of the displaced children particularly in their health, food, education, and clothing aspects.
The musicians present during the press conference strongly felt that through their concerted efforts, they could give a ‘little hope, restore a little faith and help the crisis-struck children dream again along with the help of other like-minded people.’ They said the theme implied “opening our eyes to the plight of the Rengmas in Assam as much as doing one’s part to help the cause better, to make their world better and brighter one.”
Members of Spark-Venture Production consisted of Obed Kath, Thanpenlo Woch, Rushulo Khing and Shishi Keppen. The concert will also witness involvement of Betoka of Hiyo Café, Global Chapter, Audio Garage, SP Printers.
Tickets for the musical concert would be available at Future Info System (Yehovi Complex, Dhobi Nullah), Kids Barn (Fellowship), Café Destination (Super Market), Furtados (Super Market), Crescendo (Notun Bosti), Planet PC (Nagarjan).
