Stay at THE GARCA BRANCA from November to May There is no better, value for money, guest house. Confirm your bookings early or miss-out
Visit http://www.garcabranca.com for details/booking/confirmation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Although CTT Correios of Portugal has not updated its website, one can view the commemorative Abbe Faria postcard it issued at www.abbefaria.com. Once CTT updates its website, the postcard can be purchased online. I ask Goans worldwide to purchase two postcards. The first postcard to be addressed to Mr. Sachin Kishore , Assistant Director General, Ministry of Communications & IT, India -- with whom, I have been in contact with and who is somewhat hopeful on the issuance of an Abbe Faria stamp -- urging him to prioritize the request and consideration of an Abbe Faria stamp when Indias Philatelic Advisory Committee next meets. Mr. Sachin Kishores mailing address is: Ministry of Communications & IT Department of Posts Dak Bhawan New Delhi 1100001 India The second postcard is to be retained and subsequently -- hopefully -- affixed with an Abbe Faria stamp issued by India, and the postcard then circulated worldwide to ensure Abbe Farias legacy among Goans and non-Goans, as also to educate them on one solitary Goans epic contribution to science more than 2 centuries ago. Objectives can be achieved if we undertake the burden rather than depute it on others while we rock ourselves on the complacent chair of expectations.
