KUWAIT, DEC 4, 2018: Salmiya Parish Youth (SPY) Kuwait organised the annual Domestic Helpers Day for 100 deserving
domestic helpers on November 30.
Youth members of SPYorganised a fun-filled picnic for the maids and drivers at a chalet in Kabd. Joyalukkas Jewelry were the main sponsors for the event. This has been the seventh consecutive year of this initiative. The event began with Holy Mass being celebrated by SPY's youthful Spiritual Director Father Lionel Braganza, after which breakfast was served.
During the day, SPY members organised many games and activities after segregating everyone into groups. This was followed by a lively jam session after which lunch was served. The afternoon continued with more games and a vibrant fashion show. The event ended with prizes distributed to the winning team who played all the games with great enthusiasm. In the spirit of Christmas, hampers were gifted to all maids and drivers.
One of the guests Juliana D'Souza thanked SPY and said, "We are extremely grateful for this wonderful day and wish Father Lionel and SPY God's abundant blessings."
“Our main goal is to spread joy and happiness amongst these hard-working individuals who work 24x7 with almost no appreciation. It was a day well spent with the domestic workers who don’t see their own family very often. I am very thankful to all those who helped make this event a success and would urge more youth to be a part or contribute towards such causes,” Kiran Clement, a member of the youth group, said.
