It is with deep regret
and sorrow I write this piece expressing my feelings over the sudden and
untimely death of our friend and colleague Peggy Pereira. I came to know her in
Kuwait in 1977 when she was acting in Tiatro at Keefan Hall where she played a
beautiful role and then we inducted her in our dramas, Mandos and other extra
curricular activities, at that time she was working for Alghanims and later on
she joined the Commercial Bank till her retirement. She was very popular figure
in the Church as a prominent Choir singer and also doing other Church
activities.
Seen extreme right is Peggy participating in Mando Festival at Plaza Hotel, Kuwait.
Being a colleague of
Adeeb Soiaber in the Bank and who was also an Anchor at Kuwait TV, she
introduced me to Adeeb referring to our movement under Goa-Kuwait Solidarity
Center in support of the liberation of Kuwait. After learning from me the
details of this movement, I gave Adeeb some photos and Video Cassette of our
movement. Based on this, Adeeb prepared
a programme of 7 minutes which he aired on KTV English Channel on
20.09.91. Thru this programme the entire
Kuwait especially the Kuwaitis came to
know what we did for them when their country was seized by Saddam Husseuan.
She addressed our meetings in
Kuwait and Goa as well to mark the liberation day of Kuwait and thus gained the
goodwill of the people.
She is the daughter-in-law of famous Tiatrist KID BOXER and was very
proud of him.
In her death we lost a good friend and an activist colleague. May her soul rest in peace.
