NUVEM KUWAIT PARISHIONERS.
This year one of the village based Goan organizations in Kuwait “Nuvem Kuwait Parishioners” is celebrating its Silver Jubilee. Twenty Five Years back it was formed in Kuwait by a few of the enthusiastic Nuvemkars. Originally when it was formed it was named as “Nuvem Villagers in Kuwait” and under this name it functioned for 6 years and thereafter it was changed to the present name “Nuvem Kuwait Parishioners”. Though initially it was started with handful of villagers but currently it boasts of having over 100 members who are all involved in the promotion of this organization. The motto of this association is to bring every member of Nuvem closer to one another for the benefit of every member and also for the benefit of their village Nuvem in Goa. No doubt this organization feels to do lot of activities yet little funds they have at their disposal is not sufficient enough to move at a faster and greater pace. Yet within its capacity it lends financial assistance to any of its needy members or for any needy cause back home in Goa. For example, back home, NKP have donated Benches for the Holy Family Church in 1986, financial assistance to organize Inter Village Volleyball Tournament at Church Ground in Nuvem in 1988, Mutual Financial support Rs. 50,000/- towards an Operation Request for Sickness Appeal, organized for Nuvemkars an Emergency travel Schedule to travel in Unity at the time of Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, financial assistance for the Society of St. Vincent & St. Paul to help them to help the needy, donation of a Computer for the Parochial House of Nuvem Church Administration. Besides, NKP has done lot of good deeds which they will continue doing of course with the help of each and every member of Nuvem Village in Kuwait.
To mark the Silver Jubilee, offering of Thanksgiving Holy Mass will be held at the Holy Family Cathedral in Kuwait City on 07.04 at 4.30 p.m. and thereafter a get to gather will be held at the popular Village In Restaurant 7.00 p.m.

On behalf of myself and all the all wishers of Nuvemkars I wish Nuvem Kuwait Parishioners all the best on their Silver Jubilee Celebration and hope they will complete many more years not only to serve Nuvemkars but also to serve all the Goyenkars who are doing good work for the cause of Goa. It is very nice to see them together united for the last 25 years.
A. Veronica Fernandes, Kuwait.
