Dear Rene,
 
The World Konkani Day will be celebrated for the first time in Bahrain. The 
monthly internet newsletter of Bahrain Goans ‘Xit-Koddi’ has created an 
awareness of this important day in the history of konkani among the Goans in 
Bahrain. The day is observed to mark the inclusion of Konkani in the 8th 
schedule of Indian Costitution, thereby recognising Konkani as one of the 
official languages of India. A workshop entitled ‘Bahrainche Goenkar ani 
Konkani’ is planned on August 20 to mark this day in Bahrain. The workshop will 
deliberate on various opportunites available to the Goans based here to promote 
konkani, Goan culture and traditions. The workshop will also feature recitation 
of konkani poems by Maria Pereira, who is due to release her second book of 
konkani poems entitled ‘Goenchi Girestkai - 2 ’. The workshop is promoted by 
‘Xit-Koddi’ edited by G.R.Crasto and supported by the Young Goans Club, 
Bahrain. The Young Goans Club, one of the oldest in Bahrain has a history of 
celebrating everything Goan here, from Carnival to Christmas, however off late 
the activities of the club are on the decline. The Annual Day of the Club 
coinciding with the feast of St. Francis Xavier is celebrated every year on 
December 3, with releigious as well as social activities. This is one event 
that brings the maximum number of Goans togather in Bahrain.

Date:   12 August 2011 








Hi Rene
 
As you rightly said World Goa day is also a celebration of our internationally 
acclaimed Cuisine.
 
A few weeks back, we in London celebrated 45 years service of our Goan 
Association, the Global 
Goan Convention  and rounding off the week, a spectacular Goan festival.

To celebrate this huge event in the Goan calendar, we at Dos Santos Foods who 
have served the 
Goan community in the UK for many years had as our centre piece a Goan style 
Hog roast which 
provided a delicious sandwich filling together with our Goa sausage stuffing.
 
For the World Goa day celebrations we will be catering at the official UK event 
at The Friars 
Aylesford Kent on 27 August. At our stall, we will have our ever popular Goa 
Sausages, together 
with our newly launched Top Table Goan Pickles including our Prawn Balchao. 
Also in our line up 
will be our seasonable Goan Sweets including Bebinca, Kormolas, Bolinhas, Doce 
and Nankatais. 
World Goa day would not be complete unless we had an old traditional favourite, 
Sorpotel with 
Sannas and our recent creation, Goa sausage samosas.
 
All our Goan foods are made in the UK to an EEC standard using modern 
technology and respecting 
the environment.

 
Wishing all Goans the world over a very special World Goa Day.


 
  Remember to share the Love of our Goan Culture.




 
Best Wishes

Occupational Meanings of Food Preparation for Goan Canadian Women







12 Jul: Journal of Occupational Science, Volume 18, Issue 3, 2011. Pages 210 - 
222. By Dr Brenda L. Beagan & Andrea D'Sylva (Dalhousie University, Halifax, 
Canada)…This qualitative study explores the meanings of food and food-related 
occupations for 13 Goan women in Toronto… Catholic Goans have few unique 
markers of ethnic distinction from other Indians… In this context, Goan cuisine 
becomes a powerful boundary marker, and food-related occupations carry a 
particular salience in cultural maintenance. Skill in culinary occupations may 
then be experienced as a form of power or 'currency' for women, because they 
are able to produce a highly significant symbol of culture… 5,865 words. Click

Andrea D'Sylva (photo) is of Goan/East Indian parentage and was raised in 
Karachi. She did her Master's thesis on Goan women, identity and food. The

Goemkars and Friends of Goemkars !!

It is with the greatest of pleasure - I share a posting from a former CHEF 
at TAJ HOLIDAY VILLAGE Goa. 
and a friend of ours - Cyrus Todiwala , residing in London UK. Cyrus has left 
many friends behind  in Goa - but 
he has not forgotten Goa nor his Goan Friends, his  love for Goa still lingers 
on .. and he shares it in his Goan 
Cuisine  he  prepares for his clientele in London, UK.

My Thanks to Cyrus for his message and his support for our WORLD GOA DAY - 
GLOBAL FESTIVAL 
of GOAN CUISINE.Watch out for his special Goan Menu - for the Goan 
Festival 
 

  ... rene barreto 




Friends 


I would encourage Goan's all over the world who love their homeland and loved 
their cuisine to re-awaken
the spirit of this great cuisine and re-visit it as often as possible to create 
some of India's finest food, well known
at one stage as being creative & forward thinking and a cuisine that is made 
for one and all.

We in London have always promoted it and go to huge lengths to bring to members 
of the public the diversity and 
flexibility that true  Goan cooking really is and I urge Goan's internationally 
to feel proud and do the same.

have fun

2011 seems to be the year which is gunning so quick: so quick that we are 
already at that time of the year when Goans get together in Melbourne, to 
celebrate being Goan on World Goa Day.  This time around, this day is 
celebrated by the Goan Association on the 20th of August, at the Springvale 
City Hall, Springvale. 
 
Plans are afoot to make this a great day, one that we will all remember till it 
comes again next year!  A great opportunity to meet other Goans, and to show 
off our ‘Goanness’ to our non Goan friends!  There will be good music, great 
food and ambience, and of course, as usual I will be having a bottle of Caju 
Feni to share!!!
 
Attached is the flyer advertising this great event.  Please mark the date on 
your diaries, and make a booking for yourselves and your guests.  I will be 
having a few tickets with me, so you are welcome to give me a call and reserve 
your seats before it is too late.  Besides me, you are also welcome to call up 
other members of the committee listed on the flyer to book your seats.  Please 
pass this message on to all your friends and Goans on your address books
 
Looking forward to hearing from you soon:  Together we can make this day so 
special!!!

Mangalore: Global Konkani Organization to be Launched on Aug 20


Special Correspondent
Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore



Mangalore, Jun 13: Mandd Sobhann, the premier Konkani Cultural Organization 
which has been doing yeoman’s service in preserving, popularizing and 
showcasing to the entire world the beauty and variety of Konkani culture is 
embarking on another historic step by launching the Jatatik Konkani Sanghattan 
(Global Konkani Organization).  This Global organization would be launched on 
August 20, 2011 at Kalangann, while celebrating “World Konkani Day”, to mark 
Konkani Recognition Day (Konkani Manyatha Divas).   Mandd Sobhann says the 
launching of Jagatik Konkani Sanghatan (JKS) on World Konkani day will be a 
significant step befitting the grandeur and stature of getting recognition to 
Konkani. 

The Jagatik Konkani Sanghatan  promoted by Mandd Sobhann is formed in order to  
represent Konkani people  and to forge unity in diversity among various Konkani 
speaking people  in the true spirit of Indian culture  and to promote Konkani 
cause at the global, national and local levels all over the globe.  Gurkar 
of Mandd Sobhann Eric Ozario delineating the objectives of JKS to 
daijiworld.com says “Our mantra is to represent varieties and seek unity in 
diversity.  Respect for creeds, regions and dialects are what we are aiming 
through JKS.  We have variety and now we seek unity in this diversity.  Respect 
for every variety and unity in diversity are the basic principles that guide 
us”, he declared. 
 
JKS is promoted by Mandd Siobhan with the principle object of representing 
Konkani people of all regions, dialects, castes and creeds and to represent 
Konkani issues pertaining to them at the global level.  It is also aimed at 
preserving and enriching Konkani language, culture and literature in all its 
beauty and variety and also to ensure transmission of the rich Konkani heritage 
to future generations. 

Eric says the need to have a Konkani organization of world stature is felt all 
the more because he says we do not have any organization at the international 
level to represent the cause of Konkani.  “Konkani Diaspora is spread all over 
the globe including in countries like New Zealand, Slovakia, Ireland, Iceland 
and in every nook and corner of this globe. During the 25 day World Konkani 
Cultural Convention we organized last year we have  come in contact with myriad 
Konkani organizations and bodies and realized the need and importance of  
forming an  organization having a global reach.  This is now getting fructified 
in the form of JKS.  JKS aims to provide global leadership to Konkani people 
and issues”, he explained.  

“It is a momentous occasion, a step forward in the right direction because we 
don’t have a Konkani organization of global stature and people around the world 
say this is a great job and we need to come together for promoting Konkani.  
JKS is going to fill this vacuum and forge unity among diverse Konkani speaking 
people ’, Eric stated  

The entry to KJS is open to all Konkani cultural, social and literary 
bodies/organizations/ institutions/associations, big or small.  It do not 
entail joining or amalgamation to form one organization.  These institutions 
would retain their identity and functions independently despite joining JKS.  
The draft constitution has been formed in consultation with a think-tank 
involving 16 people and this has been circulated to all organizations all over 
the world.  The think-tank is going to meet on 19th June, 2011 to prepare a 
final draft on the basis of the feedback received from these organizations or 
associations.  


Eric says that the draft constitution has received an overwhelming response 
from Konkani organizations from various parts of the globe.   Interested 
organizations or associations can join JKS as probable members, or by sending 
their representatives for the First Global General Assembly and also to join in 
the celebrations of “World Konkani Day” on August 20, 2011.  



The first Global General Assembly of JKS is scheduled to be held on August 20, 
2011 at Kalangann in order to pass and adopt the constitution, to finalize the 
plan of action for the ensuing term and also to elect office bearers to lead 
the Jagatik Konkani Sanghatan with the dynamism and vitality required to run an 
institution of global stature.

Once JKS is established, JKS would become an independent body and Mandd Sobhann 
would continue its association as a member of JKS, Eric Ozario said.  . 


Kalaakul
To provide a fillip to Konkani theatre Mandd Sobhann has come out with 
“Kalaakul”, a part-time theatre repertory where it offers part time jobs for 
Konkani speaking people interested in theatre.  “Kalaakul” is the result of 
efforts and experiments of more than a decade to provide an impetus to Konkani 
theatre which has been on the verge of vanishing. “Kalaalkul”  has become a

to 
demonstrate round dancing in keeping with the times.This month we will commence 
a Goa

We invite all those Goans and those that enjoy Goan company and may not be Goan 
to come 
along in the true spirit of our Goenkars to get in touch with me or to come 
along to Warrigal

all are most 
welcome to bring other Goans.

[Goanet] Congress slumber party with Dalits

Congress slumber party with Dalits
=


http://www.ndtv.com/news/india/congress_slumber_party_with_dalits.php

Lajjjawati spreads a fresh layer of cowdung on her walls, just one part of the 
warm welcome she's planning for her houseguest, Jitin Prasada. The young 
minister will stay at her house on Friday night. In fact, across Uttar Pradesh, 
Dalit families are hosting 300 Congress leaders on the night of Gandhi Jayanti. 
The inspiration, critics say, is less the Mahatma, and more another Gandhi. 
Rahul Gandhi's surprise sleepovers at Dalit houses have been adopted as party 
strategy to prove that the Congress stands for the poorest of the poor.

Let s hope our leaders follow their examples :

[Goanet] "GOENKARARANCHEO DHIRIO " WORLD GOA DAY - Dar es Salaam.

2009-09-21 Thread rene barreto



Goemkars ! 

WORLD GOA DAY ,  is a day when  Goans, Goan institutions and  social 
organizations all over  the  World plan  activities that relate to their Goan 
Cultural Heritage these celebrations are held  
to reinvigorate  in us,  our families and our friends - our Cultural Heritage, 
echoing what many  Goans say   "I was born a Goan and will die a Goan".  A  
true Goan in life as well as in death !

Let's not forget that  a community without a language of its own becomes a 
pariah community. The Goans have a very rich language and the only Indian 
language written  in Roman script. It 
is our special heritage. 

The Goan Community in Dar es Salaam under the leadership of Savio Fernandes 
have lived up to the saying -

 ** A true Goan in Life as well as in death ! ** 

Thanks to the Goans in Dar es Salaam ( The place of birth ) , thank you all for 
your support and expressing your SOLIDARITY  with Goans world wide. 

TOGETHER WE HAVE MADE IT HAPPEN !




I give you Savio Fernandes * Chairman s note *   -  it has been reproduced here

Chairman's Note

Celebrating Goa Day and the 117th Anniversary of the Goan Community of Tanzania 
last month has been a memorable occasion as it provided us with an opportunity 
to reflect on what it is to be a true Goan and to share this experience with 
family and friends.It is during such occasion that Goans all over the world get 
together in a bid to maintain Goan unity and solidarity and to establish our 
unique Heritage in many different ways.


It is in this connection that we salute Rene Barretto , a Dar es salaam Goan , 
now based in London, for the great initiative he has taken in bringing Goans 
around the world together to celebrate Goa Day every year.


Celebrating Goa Day on a grand scale with singing , dancing and merry making is 
one thing , but more than that we should make sure that we do not overlook the 
helpless, the disabled and the abandoned among us. How we address this aspect 
of Goa Day will be a measure of the quakity of the Goans of Dar es salaam ; and 
we must at all costs ensure that our mission to promote Goan Heritage and to 
foster a caring community prevails.


This year our celebrations took on a twist we included a sports competition 
between Bardezkars and Shashtikars brought to you jointly for the first time in 
the history of our community by the management of St.Xaviers society and the 
Dar es Salaam Institute. At first , there were some concern that such a 
competition could bring out the worst in us due to the traditional intense 
rivalry between the north and the suth of Goa. But all went well as our 
sports-persons lived up to the theme of this event , namely "GOENKARARANCHEO 
DHIRIO "  which means Goan Unity, This was exactly i had predicted having lived 
five of my best years in Goa and never having heard of bitter rivalary between 
the two regions.


In this connection , my congratulations and thanks go to the team captains, 
Jeff Homes and Janice White for Bardez and Diana & Diamond Carvalho for 
Salcette.

Thank you to my committee for the hard work and sleepless nights put in by all 
my team members over the last couple of weeks, Leslie , Brian, Mark , Angela , 
Aurena, Melwyn, Michelle, Edgar, Vanessa, Serena, Gabriel, David, Desmond &Tina 
- THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED,

While we approach the end of our second term in office my committee , with the 
full backing of the Youth , have done some marvelous work for our community , 
both on the social and cultural side, as well as on the welfare side through 
which we have reached out to help the sick and the less privileged members of 
our community, please keep in mind that, if you feel that there is any Goan who 
is need of any assistance , contact the Welfare Committee on our *fast-track* 
pro-gramme. I would like to reach our to every Goan in Tanzania who requires 
our help or financial assistance. Please come forward & approach me or our 
Welfare -in-charge Brian and his assistant Aurena.

The count down begins for our grand 50thAnniversary celebration of our 
institute.

Friends of Goa ! 
 
The idea of WORLD GOA DAY would have died a natural death had it not been for 
the  Internet collaboration of many Goan Organizations /Associations and 
individuals. 

The Goan Associations  fell in line with  a call made in the year  2000, and 
year by year their number 
has grown abundantly.

I thank them all  for all their support they have extended to make this Global 
Goan event such a great 
success.

The WGD Toronto report : 





World Goa Day Picnic/International Fundraiser 2009
http://worldgoaday2009.blogspot.com/2009/07/world-goa-day-toronto.html



The Goan Overseas Association Toronto celebrated World Goa Day on theWaterfront 
at Coronation Park in Oakville on August 15th,2009.  We continued with a “pot 
luck” picnic format and introduced our International Charitable component at 
this event.  

The newly created “Charitable Events” portfolio has been set up with certain 
criteria and goals.  The picnic was the first event for this portfolio.  This 
being a WORLD celebration, funds raised at this event will be used for an 
‘International’ cause pre-approved by
the Executive Committee.

Some of you may have heard of the struggles Kennedy D’Souza of Kenya faced.  
Kennedy, 30 years of age, had to undergo expensive treatment in Mumbai to 
shrink a tumor in his head.  Sadly, Kennedy lost his battle and leaves behind a 
wife and infant child.  Kennedy’s widow required assistance with expensive 
hospital bills as well as funeral expenses.  

The committee under the Charitable Events portfolio hosted the WGD/Charity 
picnic with a dual purpose in mind - celebrating World Goa Day with Goans 
around the globe and attempting to assist the D’Souza family.  While we would 
have liked to have seen a larger number of members/guest attend the WGD picnic; 
we realize there were a few other events that prevented some from attending.  
We express our appreciation to those who attended and are grateful to those who 
could not attend but supported by sending donations towards our cause.  Next 
year's event will be celebrated closer to the actual WGD date of August 20th.

The day began early, with DJ Fatz playing tunes from the arrival time of 
volunteers who came out to assist us with our set up to the end of the picnic 
where he entertained out guests (non-stop) for the entire day!  Our sincere 
appreciation to DJ Fatz for assisting us with our fundraiser by donating his 
services to the G.O.A.  As usual Fatz, you were fabulous!  

There were fun filled activities for all the children - including a splash pad 
on site.  Linda D’Sa managed the children’s activities very capably!  
Activities included tug of war, balloon toss, treasure hunt and a very 
interesting ‘eat the mini donut’ game for the teens!  Soccer games were 
coordinated for the youth and any adult that had the spirit of a youth!  Thank 
you to Jude Furtado for coordinating this for us.  There were card games for 
those that wanted to relax by the water and play a hand or two coordinated by 
Pauline Coutinho and our thanks to her.  There was plenty of mixing and 
mingling including crowd-pleasing Tombola games….not forgetting the every 
popular tea and desserts.  Thanks to HemaPereira who ensured the tea was ready 
(on time) for our Tombola games!  Our gratitude goes out to Joana Nunes for 
looking after all aspects of our Pot Luck luncheon.  You did an amazing job 
Joana!  Special thanks go out to Mrs. Goes for donating
 the meat for the Sausage on a Bun and thanks to Joana/Abel Nunes for the 
donation of the buns and the coffee!  We cannot forget to show our appreciation 
to Audrey DaCosta who ensured the sausage meat was heated (just right) and for 
putting together the buns for our guests.  All funds raised from the sale of 
this went towards our charity.

We also had a charitable raffle on the day.  Our gratitude to Yvonne Rodrigues 
who coordinated the raffle You did an amazing job!  The youth put together a

Hi Rene,

It has been quite a while since I've contacted you. If you
remember, it's about our  family band 'Cornerstone'. Our family have
left Kuwait and migrated to Canada.  We've been here since 3 mths. and
since I do not have any family here it's been  difficult getting in touch with 
musicians/bands as well as finding a job for ourselves. 

Perhaps if you have some contacts in Mississauga, Ontario you
could help me get  connected. If not the jobs atleast I could jam with
some bands for survival. 

Thanks' in advance and look forward to meeting you some day !! Here's the link 
to remind you about us..

To Shri Rene Barreto,

As in the past, Goenkarancho Ekvot celebrated World Goa Day on 23rd August 
2009- Sunday 
at Fr.Agnels' School Auditorium, Goutam Nagar, New Delhi as 20th August 2009 
was a working day.

The Tietre" Ek Dhago Sukhacho" (a string of happiness) by Shri Anil Pednekar 
was performed 

Ek Dhago Sukhacho is a touching family tale which brings a teardrop or two to 
one's eyes 
as the story progresses to its climax. The comedy of this play is just superhit 
keeping the 
audience in splits right through the beginning till the end.

It was an ocassion to bring Goans together. The Tiatre was appreciated and 
acclaimed by 
the distinguished audience of the Goans and the Konkani loving people of Delhi 
and 
nearby states like Haryana and U.P. 

Regards

Suman Kurade

so.
I am also looking forward to the support from the Leaders of the Goan 
Associations

In conclusion , may i ask you all to join me in congratulating Herman in 
achieving his
doctorate - Dr. Herman Carneiro  ! .as you will notice from the titles that

his name.(below- i hope i am right in what I write :) 

He is posted in London for the next 2 years - I for one will be working very 
closely with him 
for the betterment of the Global Goan Community. (me - no doctor)

I am sure Herman will share his thoughts  on  his plans ,  on how we plan to 
spread the Goan Doctors 
and  health network in Goa and Globally.

welcome to
do so.

Dear doctors 

My name is Herman and I'd like to invite you to join forces. There's a group of 
Goan doctors and health professionalson  
www.Goanet.org   called Goanet-health.  Goanet-health is a network of Goan 
doctors and  health professionals around  the 
world. The focus of this group  is the following:

i) To  share research done in Goa or that has an impact on the health of Goans;

ii) To share collective expertise in improving health of Goans or and 
healthcare in Goa;

iii) To act as a network for discussing important issues in health in Goa or 
that affect Goans; and

iv) To act as a notification network in the event of outbreaks of disease.

This network is comprised of doctors and health professionals, such as 
epidemiologists and allied health professionals.

I have been in touch with Rene Barretto and he is keen on the idea of 
amalgamating the two networks.

To join the Goanet-health list please click on the link below (or copy and 
paste it into your browser):

Hi Everyone
 
This is to wish all Goans a Very Happy World Goa Day!  Today is the 10th 
Anniversary
of celebrating World Goa Day.


 
To check out how Goans are celebrating the day across the
globe, please see the following links:
 
http://whatsongoanworld.blogspot.com/
 
http://worldgoaday2008.blogspot.com/
 
http://www.worldgoadaymessages.blogspot.com/

 http://www.our-goa-nsw.org/.
To remind you of the significance of
the day:
On 20 August 1992, India 's Parliament unanimously approved
Konkani's inclusion into the Indian Constitution's 8th Schedule, fulfilling the
prerequisite for the granting of Statehood to Goa .
World Goa Day followed in 1999, when a decision was made to dedicate a day in
the year to the celebration of our Goan Cultural Heritage - a day when Goans
worldwide, young and old, together took pride in every aspect of their
beautiful culture - language, traditions, the performing arts, cuisine etc. 
 
World Goa Day is intended as a day for
Goans worldwide to focus on and take pride in their identity, culture,
language, traditions, music, cuisine, etc. It was introduced in 1999 to unite
Goans all over the world in a day of common celebration.
It is a day designated
specifically for Goans to reflect on our Goan identity, to consider what being
a Goan means to us, to take pride in being Goan and to unite with Goans all
over the world, in solidarity, to celebrate Goa’s history, language,
music, cultural heritage and traditions. 
WGD must serve to remind
us that we have one native identity: the
Konkani language. The battle to keep Konkani in the Indian
Constitution has been long and arduous.  A number of Goans have worked
hard to achieve this for Goans.  That is why we need to find ways to
promote Konkani, our Mother-tongue within our family environment and to engage
the wider Goan community in this vital endeavour so that we can all take
pride in our Goan entity. 
20th of August is the official day
for WORLD GOA DAY CELEBRATIONS,  but for practical  reasons, 
the event is often held at a date close to this and most suitable for this
unique celebration.
 
This year again, festivities are
being be held in all five continents with thousand of Goans participating
across the globe including India .
World Goa Day is one of the biggest events in the calendar of the GLOBAL GOANS
and many wait for this great day when Goans pride in showing themselves, their
children and others their roots and cultural heritage, a sign of our UNITY and
strength in our diversity and in our Goan  Diaspora. 
 
August 20 is also a day where Goans,
Goan institutions and social organizations all over the Goan World are planning
activities.  Celebrations will take place across the world to reinforce in
us our Goan heritage, echoing what many Goans say "I was born a Goan and
will die a Goan". 
 
We have a lot to offer the world and
should not be ashamed of or shy away from our own glorious culture. We are as
gifted as any other people, and we should be willing to demonstrate that pride
in our actions. Dreams and ambitions take hold more quickly when shared with
others. This has been undertaken through the various organizations and e-groups
established in the past few years.
 
Goan Basilio Magno from Spain wrote the theme song, "Proud to be a
Goan," especially for the First World Goa 
Day on August 20, 2000.  Basilio’s
composition has become synonymous with World Goa 
Day celebrations. The lyrics and music perfectly express love for and
solidarity with our motherland, Goa . The many
Goan Internet forums have stimulated the understanding Goans have of their
unique heritage. The world-wide organizing and coordinating committees will
help us achieve results.  We need each other. Giving and receiving are the
basics of positive social relationships and healthy Communities. There are no
limits to what we can achieve together! To listen to the song, click on 
http://www.worldgoaday.co.uk/download/MP3%20Proud%20to%20be%20Goan%20-%20original%20by%20Basilio%20Magno.mp3.
 The lyrics of the song are also attached.
 
The theme of "Giving back to
Goa" is a good way to inspire our Goan community to do more for Goa a

Cultural Heritage,   a day to promise to help the less fortunate in our Goan 
community.



Hello all,


Some of you may have seen this already, so this would be a reminder of sorts.

On behalf of the GOA Vancouver, I’d like to personally invite you to our World 
Goa
Day Celebration on Sunday, August 23rd at Deas Island Park, Delta.  Please see 
details 
below and the flyer attached. It will be a great opportunity to “go Goan” by 
dressing for 
the occasion and enjoying a  susekaad day – you might even see yourself on TV 
(fingers crossed).

Going south on the 99, turn east on to 62B Street as soon as you exit the 
tunnel –
then look for signs to the Park. From the 91, exit West to Nordel Way and west 
again on to River Road – then look for signs to the Park.

There are 2 parking areas – one at the picnic site and another closer to the 
park
entrance.  We will have signs directing you to the GOA site.

For those of you who have not seen the GOA “Spring into Summer” newsletter – 
please
link tohttp://www.goavancouver.com/docs/2009NewsletterVol%205,Iss%201.pdf
You’ll also have an opportunity at the picnic to check/update your membership 
and buy
Nite in Goa tickets.

Please call me (778-999-6531) if you need any further information.
Look forward to seeing you there with your family, friends  and neighbours. 
Would love to hear back with an RSVP so we can get a handle on numbers 
attending.

raising funds and will also be addressing the press Conference. The media is 
well informed and are looking forward to this great event- which is aiming at 
helping our Goan Footballers.
 
Well establised people across the Globe have been invited to the show and they 
have been requested to send in their Donations towards this fund for our 
aspiring Goan Footballers.
 
The Brazilian Jazz band Acuri is set to perform live at Gonsalves Mansion, the 
Home of Jazz in India, at Campal. As said earlier, the concert will be held on 
August 15th in aid of  Brasil Futebol Academia (BFA), Goa.

[Goanet] WORLD DAMAN DAY 2009- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -

2009-08-10 Thread rene barreto




FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - WORLD DAMAN DAY 2009
http://web.me.com/noelgama/wdd09/Press_Release.html




World Daman Day ‘09 


DAMAN,
8 August 2009: 


Following the resounding success of the first-ever,
WORLD DAMAN DAY last year, the organizers launched into the second year
as early as April 2009 for the worldwide celebration of the 2nd World
Daman Day on the 20th of August 2009 under the aegis of World Goa Day
courtesy, London-based founder, Rene Barreto.


“Daman has always looked upon Goa as its 'Big Brother.’ But no two fingers are
alike and so it is with siblings. These cultural differences though
subtle, lend Daman its uniqueness. This worldwide event is a
celebration of the unique culture of the people of Daman who have an
identity of their very own – the Damanense,” says Daman-based author,
Noël Gama who is the Overall Coordinator of the event.


The theme of World Daman Day 2009 is, “Viva Damao! Come, Discover Daman.”
“Damão is not just the former name of Daman,” clarified Mr. Gama. 
“It’s another name for the Indo-Portuguese subculture of Daman and is a
way of life. But most importantly, when broken up into its two
syllables, it reveals the secret behind the characteristic hospitality
of the typical Damanense – 'Da mão' – which literally translates to
'give me your hand,' in Portuguese meaning, ‘Welcome!’


Damanenses around the globe in countries like the UK, US, UAE, Canada, Portugal,
Macau and Holland among others, celebrate all things Damanense by
showcasing their Damanense cultural heritage through artistic and
cultural expressions such as musical and food festivals, competitions,
traditional and folk dance performances, art and craft displays, etc.


While World Daman Day is mainly celebrated by Damanenses outside Daman, in
Daman itself there will be a football match on the 16th of August at
5pm in the sport ground in Moti Daman and on the big day itself, a
cultural program in the evening. More information can be found at 
WORLD DAMAN DAY  www.WorldDamanDay.com

I am happy that there is an emerging initiative for a World Goan forum.
On World Goa Day last year , I stressed the impact that overseas Goans
can have on Goa today.

With Indian laws changing and persons of Indian origin being 
given more rights, it is important that all people of Goan origin 
and residence realise that events in Goa are a part of their history,
culture and human rights. Towards this end, and considering the
million Goans in the diaspora, I completely support the interests of
Goans worldwide.

We can attain much from this forum and we need to meet to initiate a
plan of action.

With regards and best wishes for Goa and Goans,

Wendell Rodricks
