The initiator of "Goa Day" event is Joseph F.X. D'Souza, who hails from Assagao-Bardez, Goa who was supported by the undersigned. Together with Rene Baretto (based in U.K.) the goa-world.com team and internet affiliates had 'it' celebrated worldwide including Amchem Goa! Some guys are good at story-telling. Gaspar Almeida www.goa-world.com SEE REFERENCE ARTICLE: This annual Goa Day event, which was started way back in 1995 is a unique feature for the Goans, by the Goans in Kuwait. The idea of celebrating a day for the Goans originally coined by GWS committee member, Joseph F.X. D'Souza, has now been replicated by scores of Goan community associations worldwide. So much so, that it is, since the last coupe of years, even celebrated with great pride by Goans in the State of Goa itself. http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2003-November/007247.html c.c.: Joseph F.X.
