KOPA
Kunnamkulam Orthodox Pravasi Association
A global organization was formed when a group of proud Nasrani's from the Iron capital of Malankara Orthodox Church Kunnamkulam region decided to stand together in the UAE region.
A Whats App group was formed with all the people showing love and affection for the Kunnamkulam culture. Later, this group was renamed as Kunnamkulam Orthodox Pravasi Association [KOPA] under the patronage of Late HH Baselious Paulose II Bava. The name 'KOPA' was suggested by H.G.Dr.Mar Yuliouse Thirumeni who hails from the Pulikkottil family from the Kunnamkulam region. An Energetic Committee was formed electing Mr. P.C Simon as President, Mr. Ginish Varghese as Secretary and Mr. Geevar Cherian as Treasurer on 6th December 2019.
