I come from the Eastern Konyak community of Myanmar, a community living along the India-Myanmar border where families, traditions and cultural ties have continued across generations. For many communities in Myanmar, particularly those living near India, India is an important neighbour and a valued development partner. Within our Eastern Konyak community, access to education has historically been limited because of the challenges of living in remote border areas. With humility, we hope to contribute to peace, mutual understanding and shared prosperity in both nations. As Christians, we Eastern Konyak people believe that God has entrusted us with a special responsibility to be peacemakers.
