Haimi Horam (Manipur, North-East India), 46, who completed his last school modules back in India reminisces about the ones who made the difference to his EAST journey.
I still recall how I felt when I first touched down in Singapore in 2018. Everything was fast. New. Confusing.
At my first class, I did not even know how to set up a Word document. But with help from my classmates and teachers, I progressed to creating Powerpoint and videos, and conducting Zoom outreaches (when Covid-19 hit).
India has 1,400 unreached people groups (1.4 billion people); no way we can reach this country without also using online tools and approaches.
