Imphal, March 08 2013:
The Bethesda community (Bethesda Children Home & Bethesda Academy), Churachandpur observed Khankho Day at Bethesda, Churachandpur yesterday.
Khankho is a tribal community ideal.
It refers to a way of living which is loving, kind, graceful, peaceful, considerate, transforming and sacrificial for the sake of others.
It is the people's traditional lifestyle, a treasure which must not be forgotten.
A good example of this is the people's own legend 'Lendou te Ucha' in which Lendou shared his only tiny seed with his brother in their extreme starvation.
On Bethesda Day, the Bethesda community set aside the day to reflect on the meaning and value of the culture 'Khankho' and pledges to practice Khankho thereafter.
