SOGLLEANK NOMOSKAR staged in Doha Doha - A portion of the objective and aspiration of the recently revived DOHA GOANS SPORTS CLUB was realized on staging their maiden show in Konkani (tiatr)“ SOGLLEANK NOMOSKAR “ at the Al Ghazal Club on Friday, 24th September 2010. The 19-members troupe which arrived from Goa performed meticulously and displayed enormous skills of superb acting and singing accompanied by colossal humour and comedy with a moral, all of which kept the 800 Konkani loving spectators spell bound during the 4-hours entertainment program. The program which was selected and executed by the club’s P.R.O. & director of Cultural & Social Affairs, Mr. Mauricio Pereira, along with the club’s Committee Members, commenced with the unveiling of the club’s banner with logo by Rev. Fr. Anand Castelino who was also the chief guest. That was a touching moment for many Goan residents who well remembered the good old times when the club had excelled in conducting various Social, Cultural and Sports events. Fr. Anand spoke on the need to preserve love and unity in the community and underlined the importance of keeping alive the Konkani language. The President, Mr. Ambrosio Dias, in his welcome address briefly explained the need of reviving DOHA GOANS SPORTS CLUB which, under circumstances, was forced into silent mode and lamented over the deprivation of the Goan Community of leisure diversions since 2003. During the show, DOHA GOANS SPORTS CLUB, introduced A Benevolent Fund for the benefit of the not so fortunate members of their community, distributed prizes to lucky winners and announced future Social, Cultural and Sports events. The very fact that the spectators were still sitting when the final curtain went down only spoke of the total enjoyment of the show organized by DOHA GOANS SPORTS CLUB.
