People from all walks of life extended their wishes to Social worker from Raia Anthony Barbosa on the occasion of his birthday on Tuesday.
A thanksgiving Eucharistic celebration was offered by Barbosa at the Our Lady of Snows Church, where Parish Priest Fr Conceicao Da Silva was the main celebrant.
At a get-together after the Eucharistic celebration, Fr Conceicao pointed out that Barbosa has the qualities of serving the people in need. He recalled how the social worker had been lending a helping hand to the youth activities in the village. He wished him all the very best in his future endeavours in life.
Benaulim MLA Churchill Alemao said Barbosa was one person, who has been active during the COVID-19 pandemic, lending a helping hand to the patients as well as the affected families. “Barbosa’s love for sports is well known. And, he has also been closely associated with art and culture,” Churchill said, while extending his best wishes to the social worker.
In his address, Barbosa thanked outgoing Curtorim Zilla Panchayat member Moreno Rebello and Bhavesh Zambaulikar for their support in taking forward his social work.
He also thanked Camurlim Sarpanch Basil Fernandes, Curtorim deputy Sarpanch Simon Baretto, former sarpanchas and present panch members of Curtorim constituency, GFA vice-president Anthony Pango and other executive members for this support and blessings.
