Dear Sr. Alfredo (Chacha)Indeed! you are right in pointing out missing to make a mention of the massive evacuation of Indian Community in Kuwait, done by Air India (Maharaja) under the dynamic leadership of a fellow Goan MD, Michael Mascarenhas with whom the writer interacted couple of times while in Kuwait to improve the Kuwait-Goa sector direct flight. Air India did create history in the Evacuation process.I failed to mention a few names who rendered whole hearted contribution to Goan Welfare Society - Kuwait (GWS) like Manuel Fernandes and Domnic Araujo from Santa Cruz. Manuel was an instrument in negotiation to resolve the impasse in hijacked records of GWS. One cannot forget the endless support of late Domnic Fernandes and his wife Helen in organization of the functions with love and dedication. I may have still failed to recall some other names at this juncture. What's important is the service and not personal glorification in line with my principles.The writer has full confidence in fellow Goans in Toronto who can earn laurels to Goa and Goans should they work together hand in hand with open minds and hearts.Together we can work for better future and make it happen.Wilson CoelhoMessage: 2 Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2014 22:05:22 +0100 From: Alfred de Tavares <alfredtava...@hotmail.com> To: GOANET Lists <goanet@lists.goanet.org>, Goa Net Organization <goa...@goanet.org>, "Bosco - Goanet" <bo...@goanet.org> Subject: Re: [Goanet] The Merger of Two Goan Associatons in Toronto G.O.A Can-Orient Message-ID: <dub125-w91260bcb8435fae93bf77b1...@phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"
Wilson, you have forgotten(?) the crucial role played by Air India Goan MD, Michael Mascarenhas in organizing & executing the airlift of 110 000 Indians from the region during the K. war. The biggest such airlift ever. Alfred de Tavares
