Vahui Magazine 2006 Cover

Vahui Magazine 2006 Cover Text




The not-so-well-scanned cover text.

Lia Hui and Taang Hui

The Lia Hui on the cover of our Vahui Magazine 2006 is Lia Huaipi (Lia Man Sian Huai), oldest daughter of Pa Tg. Sian Ngen Kam and Nu Lia Ning Lam Man.

The Taang Hui on our cover is Tg. Muangmuang (Tg. Tuang Sian Muang), oldest son of Pa Tg. Thang Suan Mang and Nu Lia Dim Khan Lun.



Vahui

The name of our magazine is Vahui Magazine 2006.

The English words "dove" and "pigeon" in the Bible and in zoology are interchangeable.

A domesticated dove or pigeon we call "vakhu" and the dove or pigeon in the forest we call "vahui".

Vahui is reputed to be skilled in communication: his persuasiveness qualifies him to be a good diplomat or a good information officer.

We hope that Vahui Magazine will serve as a link of communication between and among the various groups of our people.
