    "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

    ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

    Dear UMK friends,

    You have lived up above expectations. May God bless you all.

    Wonderful move and a thoughtful Gesture by you UMK. Hundreds of organisations strive to do come up with creative and inovative programmes, but few try to reach the needy. You are one among them.
    Organisations who present budget of crores for unwanted projects, but you try to help the downtrodden. Keep up the good work and keep going. Blessings are assured keep a clean record and good intention you will shine like twinkling Star.
    Hats off to you and your team.

    where there is will there is way. UMK just did that. we all can do and give and make this world better world for everyone.these children although they are underprivileged,still you can see a bright smile in them. we all can give little from our heart and they will be very happy.God bless all of you those who supported this cause.Iam quite sure there is lot of happiness among those who supported this cause and collected this big amount. I think other gulf state should do the same and help others who are badly needed funds in india.A big thank you who worked behind this cause. we pray for you.

    I have been following the activities of this association for quite some time now and it looks like a role model for many more. Unlike associations in the Gulf which specialize in making English speeches and making mockery of our own people, UMK seems to be made of very talented and dedicated Mangaloreans with a genuine desire for working for a cause. This is amply demonstrated by the fact that they were able to generate a sum of Rs.9 lacs from such little resources. I remember last year they donated an equally good sum to the AIDS rehabilitation center in Mangalore from a similar show. Long live UMK and may its talented members grow.

    Dear Amar Nathal, Jesus said from the CROSS " Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." You seem to be saying when you comment," forgive them not, for they know what they do." Please do not invite unnecessary comments from THEIR supporters.
