    Good job done by KCWA Kuwait. Thanks to the president and Management Committee and all its active members! May God Bless you all and your families.
    For those who need to know some details for your info. Udupi Diocese is also given similar share of distribution of funds in a different way as per the Bishop's advise. This info is shared in Daiji for those who are interested to know of KCWA and not for any publicity as such in mind. This is the second time KCWA is distributing Scholarships for ICYM/YCS-YSM students, first it was done in Sept.2012. KCWA's moto is to educate the primary school children, hence in every parish in the diocese of Mangalore and Udupi there is a fund created by KCWA and looked after by the Parish Priest and commitee and they distribute funds for the needy children of the parish. Thanks

    Congratulations KCWA for distributing scholarships directly through ICYM & YCS to the needy children back home. I wish KCWA to raise few more lakhs of Rupees in contributing Scholarships thus no one will be deprived of higher education from our region. My salutes to ICYM , YCA, Mangalore Diocese for encouraging, supporting and taking initiation in helping the needy. Thanks to Fr. Henry Sequeira for encouraging people of Kuwait to contribute towards the noble cause. God Bless you all.

    KCWA was doing this from beginning. This was KCWA ' S main purpose.
    To help and fund the poor Catholic students of Kanara.
    There was never any show done while doing this noble work.
    But there was always transparency and accountability when KCWA started. It was always announced in G B meetings.
    I do not know why there is show business now.

    Congratulations. Keep up the good work. Education is the only way for our Christian community to come up in life so we can work for somebody as business cum cheating is not in our blood.
