This marked BAK’s first event since its establishment in April 2024.

The success of this gathering beautifully represented their motto and underlined the commitment of their members towards the organization. The total number of people who showed up to the event was around 50.

The event commenced on Thursday at 9 PM, blessed with delightful weather favourable to both outdoor and indoor activities. The evening began with a prayer invoking God’s blessings for the occasion by Mrs Marina Priya Dcruz. MC Rayan Lobo extended a warm welcome to the attendees and led various games, including the beloved Mangalorean tradition game ‘Tug of war’, and ‘Kabaddi’ which were the highlight of the event.

To enhance the overnight stay experience, members organized a barbecue party and Baila dance, with participants of all ages swaying to the beats of DJ Roshan Rodrigues, who played a variety of popular Konkani and Hindi baila songs.

True to form, participants rose early the next morning to relish a traditional breakfast, followed by enjoyable swimming pool activities for both children and adults.

A pivotal moment arrived with BAK’s inaugural election for its Management Committee and Core Committee members, a process marked by unanimous selections across all positions—a testament to the organization’s unwavering unity.

The event continued with entertainment including a couple of housie games, and musical performances by both children and adults, showcasing talents in Konkani, Hindi, and English, much to the delight of all attendees.
