The second issue of the Konkani fortnightly GOENCHO ULO is out. It will be available at www.goacom.com/joel/konkani/ulo in HTML and also on www.goa-world.com/goa in a day or two. The first issue is already there. Efforts are on to make PDF [Pagemaker Display Files] available with the assistance of Fredrick Noronha. Some files are also loaded by Bosco D'Mello on Goanet. The GOENCHO ULO is about communication in Konkani, not about making money. Everyone has chipped in thus far. We hope to have that support throughout. It is a community paper for spreading the good news and the success stories. Imitation of something good is the best form of flattery. Please contact Mr.Fortunato Pinto at Trade Winds, Parish Centre, or Mr. Savio Figueiredo at Rendeep Cybercafe for a FREE copy of the new Konkani tabloid GOENCHO ULO in Aldona. If Martin Lobo's shop is more convenient, we can keep copies there. For copies in Vasco, please contact Daniel F.D'Souza [EMAIL PROTECTED];[EMAIL PROTECTED]; 9822163329] or Fr.Nascimento at St.Andrew's Church. Those who want a copy in Panjim, please contact Diamond Publication, Miriam, Rua de Natal, Fontainhas[Ph.2424888] between 10 Am and 5 P.M.. If you are lucky, you could even get a copy at Cafe Prakash, near Azad maidan. In Porvorim copies are available at Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr on the Torda Road , a short distance from O Coqueiro. In Mhapsa contact Afonso Bond Braganza at Luizinha Stores, near Shakuntal fountain, central quadrangle of Municipal Market or Mr.Shrirang Narvekar at Narvekar Wine stores, next to Central Bank of India. In Candolim they are available at the Dando and with Mr. Tomazinho Cardoz. Copies are also distributed to staff and students at the St.Theresa's HSS. Copies are distributed in Margao. You could contact Mr. Ulhas Buyao, Wilmix Mazarello or Antonio Costa. The theatre workshop at Rosary College, Navelim , provided an opportunity to send the first issue to many colleges of Goa. We encourage school and college students to read GOENCHO ULO. They are Goa's future. What they read with love, they become. Tomorrow the GOENCHO ULO will be distributed to the alumni of St.Xavier's College. We do not differentiate among the people in Goa , except to the extent they are willing to read Kopnkani in Roman script. The GOENCHO ULO must be read. It is not a collector's item or a relic. Goadesc has distributed copies to its Consumer and Civic Fora all over Goa. The Peaceful Society also has groups at Panchayat levels. For convenience, copies of the GOENCHO ULO have been distributed at tiatr festivals and to the Samudai or BCC groups, Charismatic groups and other groups who have their programmes in Konkani. Mhapsa's Friday market is another place where copies are distributed. If anyone who has a conveniently located shop or office anywhere in Goa is willing to keep some copies for persons who are interested in reading the GOENCHO ULO, we would be happy to send some copies to these points to the extent possible. We just need to know who reads Konkani in Roman script and how many people would like to collect their copes and from where. The tabloid is distribute FREE but it costs money to print. We hope not to waste money by having unread copies. those who want a copy must make the effort to let us know. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marie D'Souza Subject: new konkani tabloid Miguel, I asked our Newspaper dealer "Martin Lobo" in Aldona to get me a copy of "Goencho Ulo" and he was unable to contact "Diamond Publications" The phone just kept ringing. Kindly send some copies to Aldona so that we can pick up a copy. Thanks marie ...................................................... The Diamond Publication phone[2424888] is attended from 9.30 A.M. to 6 P.M. without break. So are the mobile numbers of the Editor, Consulting Editor and Publisher . Emails are replied to also. All of them are listed on the 'footer' of the tabloid.Your feedback is welcome. We have completed the distribution of the first issue in Goa, with a hundred copies each distributed in Mumbai and Mangalore and another hundred sent to Kuwait. there is a limit to the number of persons a mere 10,000 copies can serve. We cannot afford a bigger print run, as GOENCHO ULO has no Corporate Godfather and Goans are known more for their hospitality and willingness to invest in scam schemes and cheat funds than for funding publications. The Konkani publications in Devanagri took off only because of Goa State sponsorship and advertising support. We have accepted the challenge of trying to find a workable model for sustaining publications through mutual benefit. Your advertising support is what will prove the model right ...or end the challenge with a whimper. The onus is on you. We are doing our part of providing the platform to prove that we are worthy children of our Konkani Mai bhas. The stewardship is provided by Amchi Bhas Prokaxan, the cause is of all of us who claim that we are Goans and that Konkani is our language. Viva Goa.
