Kuwait, Nov 2: Kuwait Canara Welfare Association (KCWA), a premier Mangalurean association in the city, successfully organized a ‘Career Guidance Workshop’ for students of classes 8 to 12 and their parents on Friday October 28 at the Indian Public School Salmiya.
The emcee, Reema D'Souza welcomed the audience, after which was an opening prayer by Susan Saldanha. The president of the association, Albert Praveen Menezes welcomed Dr Norbert Lobo with a bouquet of flowers. He then delivered an opening speech. KCWA's spiritual director Fr Noel Almeida was also welcomed with a bouquet of flowers. He then spoke to the students present and gave a wonderful message on hard work and importance of prayers.
The first session then began with Dr Norbert Lobo who explained to the parents about the different approaches in choosing the right career for their child and the importance of doing the right research based on the child's skill, talent, passion and interest.
The second session was conducted by Crawford Wilson D'Souza, a well known mind and student trainer in the city. He taught the students and parents the importance of training their minds and how they can attain success and fulfill their dreams through simple techniques. He demonstrated this by involving the audience to experience the power of mind and visualization. It was a session enjoyed by everyone. At the end of his session the president presented him with a memento as a token of appreciation.
The final session was once again taken up by Dr Norbert where he gave an in-depth breakdown of all the career options available for arts, science and commerce stream students. It was a an insightful experience as most of the people learned of options and courses that they did not know existed or were possible to take up as a career.
After the last session, a memento was given to Dr Norbert Lobo as a token of gratitude and appreciation. The evening concluded with a short feedback session given by the students and parents present.
KCWA thanks the Indian Public School authorities for providing them the auditorium, Waves Events & Rentals for sound, Alban D'Souza for photography and to all those who participated and made KCWA's first career guidance programme a grand success. The event was successfully co-ordinated by Anil Fernandes with the support of managing committee members.
