Adventurous young men decided to call a public meeting of the Goan community to convert their desire into a reality and found a new club. A circular signed by 10 prominent and respected Goans was issued, and a meeting was held on June 11 1905. It was unanimously agreed to establish the Goan Club, and today, we as their worthy heirs enjoy the fruits of their labours.

The Holy Family Minor Basilica in Nairobi's history began in 1904 when it was established as a parish church by the Holy Ghost Missionaries. The initial church, a modest structure built to accommodate 300-400 people, was the first stone building in Nairobi. It served as a place of worship for railway workers and other early residents, and the first baptism was held in 1907, with the first marriage following in 1908. Over time, as Nairobi grew, the need for a larger church became apparent, leading to the construction of the current basilica between 1960 and 1963. This new basilica, which can hold up to 4,000 people, was officially opened in 1963 and later designated a basilica by Pope John Paul II in 1982.  Here's a more detailed timeline: 1904:  The Holy Family Church, a parish church, is established by the Holy Ghost Missionaries, serv...

  Muriel Alvares (nee Mascarenhas)   Pre-1972 Muriel was born to Salvador and Cecilia Mascarenhas, their first-born, on November 2, 1946, in Nsambya Hospital.  I was raised and educated in Kampala, Uganda. Immediately following my high school education at Kololo Senior Secondary School, and simultaneously attending the Uganda College of Commerce Business Administration program, I began working, May 1964 to support my parents and five siblings.

Needless to say, during my career at UDC, I encountered various heads of state, government ministers and senior officials, e.g., the World Bank and the Commonwealth Development Corporation, as I was called upon to si...
