Dear Rene, Constantino and the entire Comunity of Goa Damão & Diu World Wide. We Goans, here in Portugal celebrate the World Goa Day along with the Daman and Diu bretheren. Yesterday we celebrated the World Goa Day with remarkable assistene. We had a big animated crowd of people from different walks of life and diferent religions. It was unique and beautiful. At first I had thought that this project would be too big for me, but with hard work and the help of many Goans, because there are a lot of Goans who really do help, the event was a success. May I say that the Youth of today have tremendous capacity, and only require some guidance, support and recognition from the elderly people, and this we must do, so that our yougsters can take the Goa Project higher and livelier. The two celebrations one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, were well atended with so many people, which will be refered by other people not me. 1. The first event was a Inter-Religious Celebration at the Famous Padrão de Descobrimentos. My Big Thank You goes to the Hindu, Catholic and Muslim comunities in Portugal for making this possible. 2. The second event was at the Restaurante of the International fair of Lisboa, which was also well attended and diversified. The attendees were from all asssociations, Goans who have lived in Moçambique and also friends from the Português Comunity. Do join me in congratulating the Goa Damão and Diu comunities as well as the Hindu, Catholic and Muslim comunities in Portugal, for their dedication and partcipation in these events. To the people who could not make it to this event, I have to say you have missed a wonderful oportunity that will not come back. We never regret for what we have done. We only regret for what we have not done. In September, 16th, 17th and 18th we will be expecting a much bigger crowd, but donot delay in confirming your presence and buying the tickets as they will be all sold out very soon. Lets change and not be late Fondest Regards to all, Leão Fernandes 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
