The Goans in Nairobi are looking forward to celebrating the 10th World Goa Day
in true Goan style. This year's organising committee comprises representatives
from The Goan Gymkhana, The Goan Welfare Society, The Goan Institute, Villagers
of Goa - Parra, Moira, Saligao, Margao, Bernaulim and Friends of St. Francis
Xavier. The celebrations will begin with a social football tournament on
the 15th of August, 2010. We will have Holy mass held at The Goan Institute on
the 22nd of August, 2010 followed by celebrations which include Goan cuisine,
traditional Goan entertainment and a tinto.
On behalf of the GWS and organising committee, I am delighted to congratulate
Mr. Rene Barreto, the brainchild of this event on the 10th World Goa Day.
Viva Goa!
God bless.
Christo De Sa
GWS Chairman
