Hi Oscar, Thanks for re-posting the post on Mentoring. Of course I will be happy to work with you or anyone that needs help in my field of expertise. I hope you get many responses.
However as I read and contemplated on the ideas, the Mentoring Program is rigorous and very disciplined. And rightly so, it has to meet certain standards. Hence: Is this an alternative to an age-old institutions that society has developed and perfected? These institutions are called High School and College. Those Goans who need the detail mentoring, that you outline, should go to a more formal education system. At the end of this process they can get a degree certificate, instead of trying the do-it-yourself course with mentors. Perhaps the concept of mentoring as posted by you is for those parts of the world where there are no high schools and colleges. However, to build on your ideas, Goan schools and colleges and overseas associations could invite / host visiting academics and those with experience to provide one or a series of lectures when they visit Goa or other Diasporas. In this respect this may be an extension of Rotary Club meetings while building connections and create a network of like-interested Goans. Such Goan-related activities (4-6 times a year) will also answer comments many Goans make about their Goan association: What am I getting for my membership dues?
