Indian Doctors Forum holds desert spring camp
The Indian Doctors Forum, affiliated to the Kuwait Medical Association, held their 1st Desert Spring Camp at the Al Mulla Desert Camp at Wafra on Friday, Feb 22, 2013 amidst a gathering of around 350 IDF members along with their families exclusively.
The day started off to a sumptuous breakfast by Caesar’s Restaurant with south Indian delicacies satisfying the taste buds of one and all. After getting all charged, members then headed to the main activity tent where they were divided into 4 different teams. The teams were Salmiya (S-Team), Riggae (R-Team), Mangaf (M- Team) and those who came by their own cars (X-Team). There were frequent lucky dips and spot prizes for each category that was announced at regular intervals to add excitement and surprise.
Dr Amir Ahmed, President of IDF then inaugurated the event by requesting all for their whole hearted participation irre- spective of their age or gender. Dr Jaganath then described the entire venue to the audience with essential briefing of facilities available for relaxation or sleeping.
The fun kicked off with a variety of games catering to teens, children and toddlers of different ages. Games were conducted by Anson (Master of Ceremony) assisted by Michael and D.J. Marlon, who kept the crowd melodiously engaged with a range of Hollywood to Bollywood hit songs. The lunch break then ensued with a delicious spread of veg to non-veg and south Indian to north Indian dishes, generously laid down by Caesar’s Restaurant.
Then highlight of the event was the Bingo game which had to its credit loads of luxurious and expensive prizes for the winners. This was again followed by a set of games for adults and children culminating in the most awaited event which was the Tug-O-War. This game was held separately for men and women. This game witnessed some excellent show of strength and power from our IDF members. The day came to a memorable end with hot & freshly prepared snacks catered to all.
The entire event was captured by the roving lens of Gafoor Moodadi and will be translated to memorable DVD’s by Drishya Digitals. IDF is greatly indebted and grateful to Al Mulla Exchange for providing the remarkable venue to IDF and making this event see the light of the day.
IDF is also appreciative to City Bus for all the assistance rendered in providing IDF spacious and comfortable buses to and from the venue.
Irrespective of the performance, each child was awarded special gifts with special reference to their age and sex, hence every child went home a winner. The entire day came to an end with the Vote of Thanks delivered by Dr Vinod Grover (Vice-President IDF).
