Bridging the Zo people through Music

We all know that music can do great things, music can bridge the gaps and music can build walls. We may think that music is just a kind of entertainment or just an accompaniment to a song. Music rocks and pull the youngsters, give peace of minds to the sorrows, give comforts to the lonely people. So, lets use music to bind us and build a new bond of love.

Recent example, some of the well known and popular Mizo singers in Tutkhawl Zaikhiang did a great job. Some people from Mizoram as far as i have experienced from chatting might not be aware of what Simte language or who and where they are from. It is highly appreciable that the Mizo singers

with lots of difficulties learnt and bring out such a great album. Through this Simte VDO Album, i have a great expectations that there would be certain closeness as well as awareness among us who and where we are.

Therefore, Let Mizo singers often come to Churachandpur and Zomi or Kuki Singers in Mizoram.

Zolengthe aims at Digitizing the Zou society

In this fast moving digital world, the Zou society is also moving steadily to cope with the digitization of its community. Zolengthe aims at digitizing the Zo society at it maximum posible ability. It has so far digitized one of its major church i.e. Manipur Evangelical Lutheran Church on www.melcindia.org site. Now it aims at digitizing the Zou Presbyterian Church (ZPC). It aims at moving on to UZO, ZYO, ZSP and other organisation of the Zou society in India and abroad.

First, lets define what is Digitizing or Digitization.

Digitization is the process of converting information into a digital format . In this format, information is organized into discrete units of data (called bits) that can be separately addressed (usually in multiple-bit groups called bytes). This is the binary data that computers and many devices with computing capacity (such as digital cameras and digital hearing aids) can process.
