Dear Xavierbab,
This is to answer your email appeared earlier today in this forum.
First of all I am no more a member of GWS though I was one of the founders when it was establsihed thru the inititiative of Vincente D'Souza. At the time of invasion of Kuwait by Iraq on 2nd August 1990, Alu Carvalho was the president of GWS. After the liberation of Kuwait he came back to Kuwait like me, met me personally and asked me how to restart GWS. I told him to call a meeting of all the members who are returned to Kuwait and then we will decide the next course of action. Then Alu Carvalho met his
'ded Xanne' colleagues in GWS and hurriedly called a meeting of few of his close friends in GWS without telling me and my colleagues whom I enrolled in GWS. While doing this Alu Carvalho had full support of the Crooks in GWS some of them are still there and ruling.
After a month I got the news that GWS has been restarted minus me and my colleagues. Then I got the news that this was the trick of keeping me out purposedly to prevent me from fighting for the cause of downtrodden in Kuwait and for justice. Then I started my campaing thru writings on the misdeeds of GWS. To put a break on my campaing, gradually feelers started coming to me to rejoin GWS. I said on condition that with me all my earlier colleagues including those who are still in Goa should be admitted. There was no positive reply to this condition and hence till now I am officially out of GWS.
I was expecting other members in GWS to fight for my and my colleagues induction in GWS and question the leadership of GWS why me and my colleagues are kept out. But to my knowledge none including my close ones raised this issue and fought for our cause in GWS thereby allowing the leadership of GWS to create the rot it has created and for which all are suffering now.
Hence, by being out I am unable to do much but from outside I will do as much as I can.
Xavierbab, you new comer young and educated Goans try to join GWS as members and work for the good of Kuwait Goans. I am ageing now, so too many of my colleagues. Enroll all your friends and colleagues from AVC and elsewhere in GWS and fight for justice for Goans especially the downtrodden in Kuwait. The present leadership of GWS is in the hands of questionable characters. They made a mess of GWS. The ringleader was accusing Vincente D'Souza of hiding the fund of the then Kuwait Goan Association but the same ringleader is doing worst. Vincente D'Souza was innocent but not the ringleader and that it is so is evidenced from his deeds. They are not proGoan like you and me, their one leg is in Kuwait and the second leg in Canada.
Regards,
A. Veronica Fernandes,
