We started off the year 2020 with our traditional new year program celebrations on Jan 8 2020. The event was a very grand one with many programs involving TKM family members. The venue was a wonderful resort in Jahra, a very remote area in Kuwait. We had record attendance. The highlight of the program was a dance sequence with the participation of senior most member from batch 1963 to 2019 batch member. During the pandemic, our excom team understood the emotional strain of our members and individually called and checked on their status and wellbeing. We released message and a musical video to show solidarity and raise hope within our members.. Excom organized a covid fund raising primarily aimed at supporting the TKM alumni member who may fall upon hard times during this pandemic. We joined hands with KEF (Kuwait Engineers Forum) an Umbrella body of all the Alumni associations of engineers in Kuwait, to meet the newly appointed Indian ambassador to Kuwait to raise our concerns and request support to resolve the issues faced by Indian engineers for the registration with Kuwait Society of Engineers which was a mandatory requirement for employment purposes. TKMCE Alumni joined hands with Kuwait Engineers Forum and a charity organization named Indian Community Service Group (ICSG) driven by Indian Embassy and did several community services like volunteering in the distribution of food kits for the distressed, distribution of medicine,paying the school fees of the students who otherwise could not have continued with their education as their parents were unable to pay the fees. During this pandemic our gavel club, "The Sparkians"; Toast Masters Club for children, which we started in 2019 continued functioning online. Our inter alumni volleyball tournament which was scheduled to happen in March as well as other planned/scheduled activities were cancelled due to the pandemic situation. The AGM could not be conducted and it was decided for the current committee to continue for one more year. The gavel club which we started in 2019 continued functioning online during this period. The development of the gaveliers has been a joy to watch.Our members participated in the musical program Raganjali 20 conducted by Oman alumni. Many of our members left Kuwait during this period, some for better prospects some back home for leading retired life. Online farewells were arranged and Ex.com members personally presented them with mementos for expressing love and gratitude on behalf of the alumni association.
