A Message for World Goa Day
A Message from Spain
We are celebrating this year the 10th anniversary of the World
Goa Day. To come so far is a great achievement of Rene Barreto
and his collaborators; they are to be congratulated.
I had a small part in its organisation in composing the theme
song: Proud to be a Goan. The celebration has caught up in
more countries, which is encouraging.
I appeal for world wide Goan unity and for more volunteers
to work for the global Goan community. After 10 years of
hard work at the helm of the World Goa Day Rene wishes to take
a break. I hope someone younger will take over the reins and
continue the good work he began.
