Mangalore, Dec 24: It was an evening of blissful, enjoyable experience for those who had gathered at St Aloysius college grounds, where a social service organization, ‘White Doves’, had organized a programme titled `Christmas N Carols’ on the eve of Christmas, on Wednesday, December 23.
 
The audiences lapped up the carols, dances and the plays presented on the occasion, and thoroughly liked the uniqueness of the programme and its presentation. Two different stages had been built adjacent  to the main stage, which made one feel excited and thrilled at the experience of viewing the actions of the play taking place simultaneously in three stages.
 
The play presented on the birth of the Lord got tremendous response from the people, because of the style in which the play was presented, and as the action, unfolding in three different stages, took the performance to altogether a different level.



































The carols presented by the Corrine Rasquinha, founder president of White Doves, and his team, with a soulful touch, and the beautiful, rich voices of the team members, amazed the audiences. A short play presented at the beginning, which spread the message that the Lord is always with those who serve the mankind, caught the audience’s attention because of its style of presentation.
 
Walter Nandalike, editor in chief of Daijiworld.com and NRI entrepreneur, Max Rasquinha, inaugurated the show by  freeing white doves in the air, in the presence of  Jennifer Mascarenhas of SMKC, Dubai and Fr Franklin D Souza,  spiritual director of ‘White Doves’ and Corrine Rasquinha, founder president and Oliver Rasquinha, founder trustee of ‘White Doves’. 
 
Walter Nandalike, speaking on the occasion, wished the glorious event a grand success.
 
Fr Franklin D Souza, spiritual director of ‘White Doves’, blessed the occasion and the initiatives of the organization. He said that the organization has been conducting the Gods ministry, in pursuit of the mission to serve the poor, the downtrodden and those who are in need of help. Serving the mankind with humanitarian touch tantamount to practicing the Lord’s message, he added.
 
 
‘White Doves’ is celebrating its 15 years in social service. It is a non-governmental organization, engaged in providing shelter to the downtrodden, the poor prople, who are picked up from the streets, irrespective of their caste, creed or religious affiliations. Their physical, medical and spiritual needs are also being looked after by the organization with the help of its supporters and benefactors.

    What a fantastic and timely show of extravaganza in preparation of the festive Xmas season. I was truly humbled by the unexpected announcement to come to the stage and receive the felicitations and release the dove as a symbol of peace and happiness. Mangalore has advanced a great deal indeed, and a performance such as this is a clear testimony of our determination towards a pathway of progress. I shall be extending invitations to several of our American friends to visit Mangalore during the festive season. Hopefully, all our roads will be brought back to reasonable shape in order to enjoy a smooth and safe journey in our beautiful home town. I did not have a chance to visit with Corrine Rasquinha but had a long chat with Jennifer and Bennet Menezes. Congratulations to one and all who were instrumental in producing this grand performance. May you all have a joyful Xnas season.

    I am extremely happy to see that THE WHITE DOVES are indeed flying high - thanks to the initiative taken by Corin who I know very well. In a world disrupt with chaos and communal problems WHITE DOVES is a symbol of PEACE and LOVE. It is good to see that Walter and Max, despite the multiplicity of responsibilities have found time to be with 'WHITE DOVES' Corin. You are indeed doing a great job for a great cause. May your efforts yield desired results and may you and your family members - particularly your child 'GOD'S GIFT' be blessed. Joe Gonsalves
