  • Giving honour to our Koro Horiana Rupapera. Blessed to be counted as one of your many grandchildren. Psalms 127:3-5 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
