Ashley D'Silva Gen Secretary Mumbai Goan Association -----Original Message----- From: goanet-boun...@lists.goanet.org [mailto:goanet-boun...@lists.goanet.org] On Behalf Of Arwin Mesquita Sent: Saturday, November 07, 2009 11:34 PM To: Goanet Subject: [Goanet] Global Goan Convention 2009 - Muscat Oman Dear Sir/Madam, Please can you publish my letter in your esteemed media. Sincerely, Arwin Mesquita, C/o Liwa Trading Enterprises, P.O. Box 45326, Abu Dhabi, UAE Mobile : 0097150 6118985 Subject: 2009 Global Goan Convention The Goan Community of Oman (GCO) deserves to be complimented for organising, such a Good Global Goan Convention 2009 and their hospitality was remarkable. For the betterment of Goa, It is important that we first, at least acknowledge the harsh realities facing Goa, make Goans aware of the same and then look at solutions. In view of the latter, I think that the main positive, which came out of this particular convention, was that the critical issues facing Goa were strongly discussed i.e. on its Land, Language, People & Identity. It was also very good to meet Goans, who are fighting for the said issues on the ground and we overseas Goans in particular, need to urgently support them & join hands with them; for our common cause.
