Dear Gilbert: Thank you for your email. Some years ago, Goa Sudhaop founder Filomena Giese had floated the idea of organizing Goa Day and our Advisory Board member Rene Barretto has made it a great success with his untiring efforts & Goa Sudharop's support. Goa Sudharop provided the funds for the Goa Day website and has consistently advertised and promoted the event. This year Filomena suggested that we focus on a theme (Jobs for Goans) and the new Goa Sudharop President, Acaria Almeida, wholeheartedly accepted the idea by employing 4 Goans at US Bank in the last few months. Of course, Goan employment is not tied to a celebration of Goa Day, and should be an ongoing, year-round effort. In addition, this year Goa Sudharop will announce some awards to acknowledge Goans in various fields.
Thank you for your offer below in the health field, I hope Goans take advantage of the opportunity.
