GL responds: Thanks JC for your feedback. As your (and my) posts point out, we can accomplish a lot if individuals are open to ideas and willing to undertake their small share of effort. The ideas are there. It's the question of exploring and working them with an open mind and a willing heart, even if it benefits others! It would be nice to discern (quantify) the overall success (jobs) from the "Jobs for Goans" effort in Goa and in the Diasporas. Back to jobs after graduation! We now have a program in our high schools where high school students spend / shadow for 1-2 days in each of 3-4 different departments of the hospital (student's choice). They then write an essay of what they learnt and their thoughts about their visit. They then receive a Grade on their essay as part of their English language training. Thus it's a great program in more ways than one - everything to gain and nothing to loose! Goa could do it! In the Goan Diasporas if the local schools don't do it, the community can coordinate the activity. Regards, GL Jose Colaco: How true! About 5 years ago, one of my colleagues & friend (a Radiologist) was despondent about the lack of good candidates to fill a vacant Radiology position in her organization. I promised to look in Goa for her. I sent a message on TGF. Later that year, we were pleased to welcome a fine Goan radiologist, Dr. Nitin Singh. Nitin's arrival paved the way for 5 other superb Goan physicians. We now are quite a group. What is also interesting is that Ema and I know the parents of 3 of these physicians. Their parents in Goa know that we are there - should they ever need guidance and assistance. In short, a pebble thrown across the Sea, a few years ago .... brought such beautiful results for this country, us, my friend the radiologist and the physicians concerned.
