A restoration ceremony for descendants of the Ophir Tribes will be held at Obona’eru, East Kwaio, Malaita Province on October 24 and 25.
This counts as the second restoration ceremony that will be held and it aims to bring back all descendants of the Ophir Tribes together, to settle differences, and move forward for any possible development in the future.
In an interview with Island Sun Auki, Chief John Paul from the Ophir descendants said the restoration ceremony is a prayer and not meant to segregate anyone.
He stated that everyone, near and far, is most welcome to the event, as during the ceremony, there will be a clearance of the affiliations and connections of their tribes.
“This event welcomes everybody and does not segregate anyone, whether you are connected or not.
“This is a prayer event, and the first thing to know is prayer, which is purposely intended to create true affiliations and connections,” he said.
Meanwhile, Chief Paul emphasised that more information relating to the restoration event will be shared during the two-day programme.
He mentioned that transportation will be provided for everyone who wishes to attend the program.
“Transportation will be provided in Auki for anyone who wants to attend the programme,” he said.
Island Sun newspaper understands that the Member of Parliament for West Kwaio Constituency, Claudius Tei’ifi, is supporting the event with transportation and food.
