I have been asked to publicise the information below. Please forward this message to anyone you know who is likely to be affected. Thanks, Eddie Fernandes >From Mr. Z. Malik of the Dr. Ribeiro Goan School Ex-Students. P O Box 40713, Nairobi, Kenya. Fax 332796 e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Ex Student Re: Parklands Secondary School Nairobi (Formerly Dr. Ribeiro Goan School) I am writing to you in regard to our old school and to the suggestion that the Parklands School reverts the name bearing Dr. Ribeiro's name. There is the desire on the part of members of the Board to revert to the previous name. This desire corresponds to the aim of giving due credit in general to the initial owners/sponsors and managers of the school, (i.e. the Goan Overseas Association); and in particular to the major donor the late Dr. A.R. Ribeiro. I would be grateful if you could kindly consult members of your club or society, members of the Goan Community and especially former students of the above school. Please send your proposals for a name to me. Please note that the final decision regarding the change of name will be made by the Ministry of Education. Also, kindly note that there is a decree prohibiting the use of tribal or community names for educational or social institutions. In adition the change of name will not imply any change in the current ownership, sponsorship nor management of the school. The best possible suggestion for the name is that the school be named Dr. Ribeiro Secondary School. I would like you to circulate this letter to as many of the ex-students worldwide as you are aware of with a request for all written proposals to be sent to me by or before 31st May 2002, so that I can place the matter before the next meeting of the Board of Governors sometimes in the second half of June. With best wishes Yours very sincerely Zahir Malik (year 1947) [EMAIL PROTECTED] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
