Dear Luiza: Sending the following information, which may be of interest to Goa Today:
On Thursday, May 2, 2002, we established the subject fund with Catholic Charities -- Montgomery County Family Center in memory of our family. Though primarily intended for Goans from Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, Catholic Charities will attempt to assist other Goans from the Metropolitan Washington, DC, area. Several of our friends, both local and out-of-state, have discussed the need for such a program in unforeseen emergencies. The fund is now in place and a specific amount has been allocated, especially for local Goans. Those confronted with unexpected emergencies should contact Betty Shaw Smith, Center Administrator, 11160 Veirs Mill Road, Suite 700, Wheaton, MD, 20902-2545. Telephone (301) 942-1856, ext. 122, Fax (301) 942-3924, or e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] and specify that they are of Goan origin. Anyone planning to contribute or add seed money to this Fund can make their checks payable to: Catholic Charities Montgomery County Family Center, annotated "Emergency Assistance Program - FRELP de Sousa Fund," and mail it to the address listed above. It would be ideal if Goans could establish similar Emergency Assistance Programs wherever they are located.
