    Congratulations to KCWA, all members and well wishers. Glad to see so many KCWA members attending the silver jubilee mass in large numbers. Our Konkani speaking priests and choir members made it still more beautiful with the celebration. The Logo and the Candles look beautiful. Nice to see the young and dynamic MEC members working so hard and putting in their best effort for the growth of KCWA. May the silver turn to gold, platinum and Centenary with the kind and humble hearts of Mangaloreans. I am very proud to be a part of this Association. Long Live KCWA.

    Indeed it was a wonderful to start the Silver Jubilee celebrations with the Thanksgiving mass. Good see large number of members and well-wishers participated in this thanksgiving mass. It was a solemn festive mass. KCWA stands first as a premier association of Mangalorean Konkani Speaking community in Kuwait and I believe this is the oldest association in the entire Gulf region. All Mangaloreans in Kuwait should join this great association and join hands together with KCWA’s mission educating poor children. It is just pledging small amount every year for the poor children’s education. Proud to be a member of this great associations. It was nice to see all the past Presidents / their family members were honored with ‘Manachi Vaath’. KCWA logo looks beautiful as KCWA’s great achievements. Nice to see all the management committee members working hand in hand. Good Luck and Congratulations to all the KCWA members. May God Bless You All.
