Dubai, Nov 19: Emirates Pangalites hosted their 4th Domestic Workers Day-Out on Friday November 13 at Zabeel Park. The day which was specially organized for Mangalurean and Goan domestic workers working and residing at UAE received overwhelming response.

The day’s program began with a welcome note by president Noel D’Souza to all the participants. He spoke on the occasion and also appreciated the service rendered by the domestic workers and wished them a better future.

Soon after the opening session, Joel Quadras took over the entire day’s event and started the day’s activities with a warmup game with the help of Norma and family who appreciated the efforts of EP on conducting this special day for domestic workers. Later on the crowd was split into two four groups based on the unique numbers presented to each one of them while registering their names.

In the morning session games like bombing the city, shooting the ball into the mug, rubber band game, peas and straw game and sack race were conducted.

After the lunch break, the session started with a game of housie, anthakshari, identifying the movies and TV serials, breaking the pot followed by a group theme game and ended with tug of war. The prizes for the winners in individual and group games were distributed by the president, founder president and the well-wisher Edwin D’Souza who graced the occasion.
