Dr. Carmo D'Cruz, who comes from Fola-Baga (Velim) on the Cuncolim-Murida and Baga-Velim border, says: "I have done a lot of research on AVC. We have always had a glorious history as AVC since the 1500s, and even before." He wrote: "However, if you concentrate on an AVC theme for example including the intellengentsia of AVC in Goa and abroad (eg. late Frank Moares, late Dom Moraes, late freedom fighter Filpin Vaz, journalist Ben Antao, Dr. Jose Colaco who has been tooting the horns of AVC on the internet for quite sometime now, etc.) and the sportspersons of Velim (such as Leander Paes, Vece Paes, John Correia, late Ivor Colaco, Salvito D'Cruz, etc.) then all presently held biases towards Cuncolim will be lost in the shuffle. There will be more content and more eyeballs viewing the website." Cruz adds: "When I stood atop the Marti Crucifix on a clear sunny day (Dec 28, 2005), I could see the tremendous progress that was being made in all there villages of AVC -- all the way to Mobor, Banda, Fatorpa and the immediately surrounding areas (including Ola Toli, Goenchem Bhat, Combia Bhat, Gonda Molar, etc. After a brief conversation with a Briton who was meditating at the cross, I prayed at the cross that day, that this beautiful AVC area should have its own web site and presence on the Net. Apparently my prayers were heard with your initiative Armstrong!! Viva AVC!!" Assolna Velim * Between bats and goalposts, a profile of sports in today's Velim. Cuncolim This is an initiative of Cuncolim-based journalist Armstrong Augusto Vaz -- vazgustovaz at rediffmail.com -- who is keen to have a Cuncolim website, and is planning to go ahead with this project. He sees this as an attempt to keep links to the social organizations of that village "spread throughout the village" and organizations functioning outside Goa and clubs or social forums functioning in abroad. Armstrong wrote in end-January 2006: "It is the best way people of Cuncolim remained connected of what is happening in Cuncolim. Young Kunkolkars to know more about the place." A misunderstood lot Kunkolkars have been misunderstood a lot throughout Goa and this is the best way to clear the misconceptions and put into the right perspective the rich cultural, educational, sporting talent which has come out of the red soil of Cuncolim. The great freedom fighters who have made liberation of Goa a reality. People who have served in the service of the church, the legal fraternity, the medical fraternity and to the numerous toiling teachers who have worked over the years to make a grand success of the students community and who remained faceless in the crowd as the students basked in the spot light.
