Henry Michael is one of the long serving Mangalorean in Doha. He is a resident of Qatar since 53 years. A very humble simple human being always ahead to help a needy.. Never said No to donate to churches/schools associations and most of the Konkani artists. He has always kept low profile among the Konkani community here. As the advisory committee member of the MCA he has given tremendous inputs to this association since its birth.
The program started at 8.30 pm with a prayer conducted by Benjamin Rebeiro. Arthur Pais welcomed the gathering. Felix Lobo went down the memory lane and brought forth certain memories of his long association with Henry Michael. He also stated his service to the Mangalorean Konkani Community and his silent charity works. The felicitation ceremony started with Stephany Lobo reading the Citation for Henry Michael. Jerry Pinto honors Henry Michael with a shawl. Felix Lobo presented a memento and Joe D’Souza presented the Maan Patr. Leena Lobo honored Agnes D’Souza with flowers. Later Henry Michael shared his 53 years of Experience in Doha & his active role as Advisory Committee Member.
MCA President Harry Lobo thanked everyone for making this farewell function a memorable one and appreciated the work of Henry Michael.
The program concluded with the dinner.
Mr. Henry Michael, an endearing personality of the Mangalorean Community of Qatar, generous with donations, generous with compliments and praises, I do not think any artist, any priest or organization has ever gone back empty handed from him. While attending shows he was always happy to sit in the chairs at the back rather than the sofa in front with dear Agnesbai always at his side supporting. Dear Henry and Agnes I pray to God, may he bless you as generously as you have blessed others, so that you enjoy long, happy and healthy life with your loved ones. Wishes from Eddie, Joyce and Children
