Press Release:
He came, he saw, he conquered is a real-life story of Harold D’Souza a native of Bajpe, Mangalore now living in the United States of America.
This inspiring man has come a long way traveling from pain to pleasure, slavery to success, and hurt to happiness. Today D’Souza is the ‘Voice for the Voiceless Victims’ in labor trafficking and debt bondage.
Gregory Monis from Mumbai shared; “I have vividly read Harold’s biography. He was born in Baroda and failed till 10 th standard. I have read a few leaders’ life story. Thomas Alva Adison was not a learned person. He had failed 9900 times and produced ELECTRIC bulb, etc. So, Harold is more intellectual and that was why he could not study the school books! Your story of leaving India and joining a new job in America, was very cruel of how your American boss made you a slave. And the bitter story of your wife and kids, who, if they had stayed back in Baroda, India would have been more better. But I feel that your destiny has changed for better. May be God wanted one crusader like Mr. Harold D’Souza for the poor souls who suffer through human trafficking. Harold is much more. As I said earlier, I reiterate that you are not an ordinary person. I strongly feel that even country heads are unable to sacrifice their life for their countrymen. So, you are a GOD’S person. Congratulations to you my brother. D’Souza is a real crusader and a modern-day MOSES”.

Jacinta D’Souza Daughters of the Heart of Mary (DHM) reflected on Harold D’Souza’s passion; “Thank you for sharing, Eyes Open International (EOI) Third Quarterly Newsletter 2021. I marvel at the wonders God has worked in your life and that of your family and through EOI. It is amazing how God uses you and EOI to redeem those who are exploited, shattered, and marginalized. I pray that EOI draws many volunteers and carry on this beautiful legacy started by you. It requires a lot of courage and inner strength, which comes from deep faith to trod the unbeaten path”.
