RESOURCE CENTRE, DIMAPUR

 

Reverend Dr. Kopenyi Mero with his wife

 

The Resource centre in Dimapur is an NGO run by Reverend Dr. Kopenyi Copee Mero and his wife Mrs. Aadela.Resource Centre is a non-profitable NGO and was started 14 years ago by the couple. Mr. Copee after being securing a government job was dissatisfied to work under the four walls of the building; he knew that his interest lied in something else, to do something more profound and enriching. After leaving his job as a government servant, he joined a theology college and got himself theologically trained where he met his wife, who is also theologically trained.

They decided to open a Resource Centre to help to help the weaker section of the society. The Resource centre helps women to self employ themselves through a art and craft centre which makes jute bags and hand-made bags named under the brand 'Tabitha'. There is a nursery school also for small kids with a bamboo park. The classrooms looks less like strenous classroom but looks inviting to the kids being decorated in vibrant paintings and drawings and play items for the kids.

It was a rich and enriching experience for me to visit the Resource centre which is located behind the busy streets of Dimapur but which is like a place springing with life, beauty and humanity.
