Mission of LANNU and DADAM, CHINKOI - Arunachal Pradesh

 The friars don't have washbasins in the house....you can see Hugo early morning brushing his teeth and getting freshened up outside.....
 This is the friary....where the friars stay....it is hut made out of the leaves and Bamboos


 The small school which the Bishop has started....there are about 50 students from both the churches....
 The parishioners dressed up in traditional dress

 we are welcomed before the Mass






 The catholic community small but strong in faith....



 Eucharistic celebration in a Bamboo church....

 The parishioners presenting a memorandum to build the school and a parish church...let us pray that some good generous souls come forward to make their dreams come true

 The king presenting a traditional bag


 Children performing a dance

 They wear their traditional dresses very often....not just for celebrations but even on certain sundays....it all depends on the village head....he is the one who commands....


 A Village king.....he is a contact person between the village and the government....

 Youth have to walk miles and miles to come to schooll










 the school building.....
