HISTORY OF THE KUWAIT GROUP
The Ray of Hope group started in 1982 at the home of one of the
early members. There were just 3 persons at that time, (Romeo,
Charlie and Joe), getting together once a week.
In 1983 another guy called Jim joined the group and the venue
became the Catholic Church on a Friday.
In the early days there was no room allocated for the group due to
lack of space and the members would just gather around in the
shade of the only palm tree in the church compound.
Later, the group obtained the use of a portacabin in the grounds
with an A/C unit, which made all the difference.
It was in 1992 that the group had an influx of members due mainly
to the increase in visitors from outside. This was a result of the
reconstruction operation after the liberation of Kuwait
from the Iraqi invasion. We then decided to start two more
meetings (Wednesday and Sunday).
The group has a policy of handing out 'chips' to members during
the first months of their sobriety and also celebrate members AA
birthdays as they arise.
Over the years,many different members have passed through our
rooms from all parts of the globe. Owing to this transient form of
membership, the group service has had to rely heavily on the few
core members that have resided in Kuwait over these years.
We are also very fortunate in having had very understanding
Bishops at the church who have been so very supportive of the
activities of the group.
Our sincere thanks go out to these very humble gentlemen. We
shall never forget their example of kindness and humility
