Before the thabaal event, there were rounds of Tambola (housie), which many participated with great enthusiasm. The Tambola (housie) was a build up to the main event, thabal chongba that the crowd has been anticipated with great pride.
Byron Mutum, member of HYMS, said, “Even though there were a few glitches in the beginning, the event was a great success. I am glad that we have been able to organize this event and we hope that with event like this, we will be able to bring the community together.”
