Kuwait, November 17: United Mangaloreans Kuwait’s (UMK) dream of helping the underprivileged turned into reality once again for the fourth time with ‘Fun-Filled Evening 2012’.

 

The show was staged at the American International School, Maidan Hawally here recently with the aim of generating funds for a charitable cause.

 

The event comprised of melodious songs, foot-tapping dances and the hilarious Konkani drama ‘Ootre Uzvadlem’.

 

Rs 16,08, 108 was contributed to ‘Little Sisters of the Poor – Home for The Aged’, located at Bajjodi, Nanthoor, Mangalore, Karnataka, India.

 

Recently, UMK’s  team of Lloyd Pinto, Ronson Saldanha, Philomena Saldanha, Beverly D’Souza,  and Rev. Fr. Vincent Victor Menezes (Parish Priest of Cassia ) visited  ‘Little Sisters of the Poor - Home for the Aged’ and handed over the amount in the form of a cheque to Sr. Josphine and her  team at  ‘Little Sisters of the Poor’.

 

Sr. Josphine thanked UMK and its generous supporters.

 

UMK has contributed around Rs 28 lakh to three needy organizations in India in the past three years, raised during three successful ‘Fun Filled Evening’ shows in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

 

On behalf of UMK family, leader Agnel Saldanha expressed gratitude to all the generous sponsors, donors, well-wishers, and the audience, who whole-heartedly supported and encouraged UMK for the noble cause.
