Hi Tony, Thanks a million for your response. It was a great essay. Very enlightening and useful both for the East African Goans to relive their past as well as for today's Diaspora Goans to appreciate what past Goan Diasporas have accomplished. It appears the secret to that Goan success (in the foreign land) was the cohesiveness of the community and the desire and understanding of each member to contribute to each other's success. Every Goan seems to have felt they were leaving behind a legacy (for the next Goan) and that was a moral incentive to be industrious. I would encourage other Goans to perhaps write essays like yours, drawing on their experience of what has worked and what has not, to make future Goan Diaspora communities vibrant and energetic. Regards, Gilbert
