Let us help out our community member in distress


I was touched to hear from our Shri Suresh Warrier(www.warriers.org) about the plight of a 75 years aged lady with a 38 year old blind dependent daughter. Details can be read at www.warriers.org or by clicking here.

As a physically challenged person, I could relate to the trauma of this family. Folks, being blind is the worst form of disability and to add to their woes -poverty !!

We all live for ourselves, let us go an extra mile to be of help to a family which is in dire need for support. I would request all community members to come forward and help out in whichever possible manner, we can.

If we can bring a smile on their faces, we have done our part. May GOD bless you.

DWSG Annual Day 2009

Dubai Sharjah Warrier Group's (DSWG) Annual Day celebrations reported on Malayalam news channel Kairali TV.

DSWG's ace event Swaralayam 2009, on 24th April, was a great success. When everlasting melodies and trendy dance numbers were accompanied by our young dancing talents, it was an unforgettable treat to the eyes and ears. The hall was full packed till the close of the event. The talents on stage were professional enough to cast a lasting impression in their minds.

The highlight of the program was the guest appearance of Stephen Devassy, the keyboard maestro, who mesmerized the crowd with those magical fingers.

Even though it is near to impossible to recreate the mood in the hall have a feel from the glimpses captured on camera, by clicking here.
