The organizers had made timely decision to change the venue of the cultural programs from the outdoor to indoor to enjoy the parishioners in the midst of the unexpected rain throughout the day.
The bad weather did not drive away the people from the grounds. There was a good crowd till the programs ended. Once again this also proves the unity and strength of Kuwait Mar Thoma Parish.
