Miss Nagaland 2012
From MattersIndia
Imlibenla Jamir, Miss Nagaland 2012
Imlibenla Jamir was studying in Class XI in Mokokchung when she won Nagaland's most coveted beauty crown.
A year later, in December 2013, as she sat through the next edition of the Miss Nagaland contest, waiting to relinquish her crown, she displayed maturity rare for a Class XII student. When a contestant stumbled on the stage, Imlibenla waited for a few moments and then cheered her every move in order to bolster her confidence.
Later, as she crowned the 2013 queen and two runners up, most of them a few years older than she, Imlibenla helped them adjust their sashes and tiaras, with a patience and cheerfulness expected only from people much older and senior.
During her year-long reign, Miss Nagaland Imlibenla Jamir visited Mother’s Hope, a center for unwed mothers, and Ebenezer Orphanage Home, an orphanage. She was accompanied by the members of Beauty and Aesthetics Society of Nagaland, the sponsors of the Miss Nagaland pageant, as part of the society’s goodwill mission, reported morungexpress.com.
Mother’s Hope, founded by Moamenla
Mother’s Hope, set up in 2001 by Moamenla, now cares for pregnant girls undergoing crisis pregnancies and home to young girls, who are usually victims of sexual abuse. It provides and promotes loving, nurturing care for newborn and infants needing permanent home. Initially the home faced stiff resistance from public who believed such an institution would encourage teenage girls to get pregnant.
However she said “Having a hospital doesn’t encourage people to get sick, so similarly having ‘Mother’s Hope’ doesn’t imply it would encourage girls to become pregnant.”
She said her center has sheltered girls between 12 and 19 who became pregnant from rape by strangers. Only 10 percent pregnancy cases that came to the center were attributed to consensual sex. The rest were through rape, date rape and just others.
In addition to providing home for young unmarried pregnant girls, ‘Mother’s Hope’ provide temporary shelter for babies and children awaiting adoption.
Ebenezer Orphanage Home by Akum Amri
A day before, Jamir and friends visited the Ebenezer Orphanage Home in Dimapur, where she gave a gift to children and encouraged them to fear God and study hard.
Akum Amri founded the Ebenezer Orphanage Home in 2005 with three orphans. Now it has 22 children.
