Dear all, We are delighted to launch an e-group dedicated to the celebration of WORLD GOA DAY. This e-group will be exclusively dedicated to the discussion, co-ordination and world-wide celebration of WORLD GOA DAY. This year's celebration will be Aug 21, 22. Please mark your calendars.
If you wish to join this group, please email me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your full name, country of residence and phone number where you can be reached and you will be added to the group. WHAT IS GOA DAY? As Goans we are proud to celebrate GOA DAY. Our manner of celebration is to try and give something back to our community by improving and developing Goa/Goans. This year's theme and focus is: "CREATING JOBS FOR GOANS". Through economic progress and capitalizing on opportunities we can make strides in various fields and help Goans along the way. Many Goans have given back to Goa and they have done so impressively. Whether they have built cyber communities, donated money, time, skills, computers, or work for the underpriviledged, etc., there is hopefully a significant increase in altruism, based on our traditional Goan emphathy for humanity. Our worldwide celebration of GOA DAY should not be minimized. It compares no less with the Irish efforts of St. Patrick's Day and America's Independence Day (minus the commercial marketing of those days) in preserving our identity. If we want to be, we can be a proud people, holding our own on the world stage. We have our own music, art, cuisine, history, literature, etc. Let's hope we all specficially set aside some time this GOA DAY to celebrate our culture and give back to others.
