THE UNITED FRIENDS Bejai is a peer group from Bejai formed in the year 1989. It is a group of friends from different religions. Our main objective is, service to society, uplift the poor by giving assistance in the form of cash and kind. Over the years we have given donations in thousands to the underprivileged. Education Assistance and Medical Assistance are two major objectives we are focusing on. Our friends and supporters are all over the globe. Since inception we have successfully organized various activities ranging from sports, art and culture. Although initially our activities were restricted to sports alone, as we grew, we ventured into other activities, keeping in mind the poor and downtrodden.

We have conducted Cricket Tournaments, Chess Tournaments, Football Tournaments and Mega Events like “FaNtASiA-98” , consisting of a Baby Show, a Beauty Contest and Variety Entertainment Competition and “FaNtASiA-2000” consisting of a Baby Show, a Dance Competition and a Beauty Contest. The two Mega events like “FaNtASiA-98” and “FaNtASiA-2000” were the first time in the history of Mangalore that anyone had organised these three events together on a single day under a single roof. We have organised year on year Blood Donation Camps. We have celebrated Teachers day by honouring teachers who taught us. Besides these programmes we have a “Project Greenery” which involves yearly planting of trees. We have successfully organised Konkani Musical Nite “Patrao Nite” in the year 2013 which attracted an audience of more than 2500. Also recently during the Month of July 2014 we had conducted comedy show “Hasyancho Pavs” at Don Bosco Hall which was filled with Konkani Enthusiasts. The success of all these activities is primarily due to our efficiency and excellent teamwork.

We have amongst us Engineers, Chartered Accountants, Businessmen, Government Employees, Bankers, Computer Wizards, Masters in Commerce and Business Administration , Artists and students. When all these talents come together and work as one unit the results are quite admirable.

Whatever money saved by organising the events we make it a point to give away a substantial percentage of it by way of donations to various beneficiaries. Making profits was never our intention and never intend to. Our main intention is to provide Education for poor students, help the sick, in other words a Social Service.

We wanted to make productive use of various talents and resources and we found out that service and entertainment are the best ways.
