Dr. Lawrence: Please do not take this personally. But about a year ago or so, I had submitted to this forum a blueprint for a mentoring initiative for the benefit of young Goans. It would meet the needs for facilitating academic, professional and entrepreneurial information. I also provided the URL of a similar organization that was a going and successful concern, albeit not involving Goans. I did not receive one single comment, whether supporting, providing constructive criticism or showing the impracticality of the ideas presented. Regards!

Hi Carmo and Jose, I fully agree with the following sentiments. But the Goan youth need some mentors and role-models. Thus, they will get the message that in spite of being a minority, Goans can excel. No more 'EXCUSES' that we cannot achieve becasue of favoritism. Our motto should be, "Goans can excel in spite of favoritism and our minority status" just as we have DONE in the past. If a mentor / role model is placed in front of a Goan audience, that very likely will be his/her message with many other useful pointers. Kind Regards, GL Kind Regards, GL
