Thanks for your good message and God Bless to YOU & YOUR Fly. I am very much happy about your contribution to poor people. I feel very bad that we could not do this type of job being in Kuwait. Today GWS in Kuwait has more than 70 Lks. I used to fight with Wilson Coelho but non of Goan has supported to me. Anyway God is GREAT. After Panaji election I have a plan to do something for NRI Returnees I I had in mind to prmote our Dr. Luizinho as a Chairman of the Organization.
I am supporting Mr Surendra Furtado who was my old neighbour in Fontainhas Panaji. I have started campaign for him meeting my very good friends Hindus, Catholics and Muslims. The rest I leave to GOD for his success. My warm regards to YOU Simon bab and Fly wishing a Happy Prosperous NEW YEAR 2015.
