Hi Joel,
Thank you very much for posting the clipping below in GOACOM NEWS DAILY CLIPPINGS of June 20. This is the best news we could hope for after the sudden demise of Konkani stalwarts, late Fr. Freddy J. Da Costa and Felicio Cardozo. We wish Tomazinho Cardozo and the ad hoc committee all the best. Please keep us posted on the developments in this regard.
�REJUVENATION OF ROMAN SCRIPT KONKANI BEGINS: At a meeting of Konkani lovers held at the TB Cunha hall in Panjim on June 19, an ad hoc committee was unanimously appointed with Tomazinho Cardozo as its convener, to take ahead the work of rejuvenating the Dalgado Konkani Academy, which aims to protect, preserve and promote Konkani in the Roman script. Fr. Pratap Naik, SJ, welcomed the gathering. Speaking to GoaNOW, Tomazinho Cardozo, said, "The need of the hour, the roman script Konkani writers felt, was to attempt to protect, preserve and promote Konkani in the roman script." The Dalgado Konkani Academy aims to make the masses aware of the Konkani language in the roman script and of Goa's rich culture and heritage, to provide financial help for writers to publish their work and also organize literary and cultural competitions and other events regularly, to attract more and more people towards Konkani. It was also decided to organize a one-day gathering - academic and cultural - of all the lovers of Konkani in Margao in December, when a special publication containing articles from the roman script writers, will be released. Fr Peter Raposo, SFX, was unanimously appointed to head the editorial board.�
We are grateful to you for keeping us informed of the happenings in Goa. Keep up the good work. God bless you.
Moi-mogan, Domnic Fernandes Anjuna/Dhahran, KSA
