BY HERALD REPORTER
MARGAO, JAN 11,2008 The Goan Welfare Association, Qatar recently donated Rs

Children suffering from HIV/AIDS.
At a function held at Asro on Wednesday morning, the President of the
Association, Simon DSilva handed the cheque to Asro incharge, Sr Veenita in
the presence of Cavelossim Parish Priest Fr Nelson Colaco and former Navelim
MLA Luizinho Faleiro.
Simon told newsmen that the Association has been donating funds for charity in
India out of the proceeds of the May Queen Ball.
The Association had donated Rs 1 lakh each to the Gujarat Earthquake relief
fund and the Prime Ministers relief fund in the past, he said.
Sr Veenita outlined the various activities undertaken by the Asro centre in the
field of spreading awareness on HIV and AIDs. She said the centre has been
successful in covering Salcetes coastal belt right from Betalbatim to
Cavelossim.
Former Chief Minister, Luizinho Faleiro complimented the Goa Welfare
Association for donating the funds to the Asro centre, saying the funds will go
