Obsidian is a volcanic glass which is formed from molten lava. We have acquired the name, because as a glass it is reflective. As a magazine we should be reflective of the people we serve and their interests. A volca- canic eruption and the pouring of lava is also significant, for it is an indica- tion of this magazine which holds as one of its functions to erupt interest and awareness from the people.
