Eddie , Who is the author of this RULE ? the rule
that says
* NRIs who wish to travel on charter flights to
Goa and stay for more than 4 weeks. * ?
Simon D Souza - the ex-speaker of * Goa
Government * Invited me to meet up with Governor
of Goa - Mr. Jamir - I invited Jerome Mendes to
accompany me , together we put up our ..The NRG
-Community problems and our suggestions too. The
Governor Mr. Jamir - spent about half an hour
with us , promised to look into our suggestions
and problems - we wait in hope to hear.
On our way back to Vasco from the Governors
Palace - we called on the present Speaker of the
House - Government of Goa . Mr. Sardinha. The
Speaker apologized - for not being able to
* speak * - as Goa was under the President Rule -
he said , Though he did allow us to be
photographed with him ... no restrictions there
he was quick to point out.
Coming back to what Eddie mentioned , I believe
that if we are to address any problems - Goa ,
relating to the Non resident Goans , WE need to
do so in an organized manner , I would suggest
that we do so TOGETHER
under the banner of the NRG - UK , NRG Canada ,
NRG etc ., etc., When we complain as indviduals -
NO body cares ... collectively , it may be a
different story.
I have written to the NRI Goa cell sharing these
thoughts , I have been promised a reply by Mr.
Keni - after their monthly meeting ...I will of
course keep you all informed.
A suggestion that was put up at the NRG meeting
held at the NRI - Goa cell ...was that the Goans
in Goa - (NRI settled in Goa form an organization
) I believe this is an old stories - making its
rounds. We need some one in Goa to MAKE IT HAPPEN
! We wait to hear ......

> Goans if they do not use email

We have brought this point and also suggested
that all the members of the NRI-Goa cell should
have their own email ie [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell.Goa
what ever .. we hope such email addresses would
expedite replies to our emails.

It was also suggested that a yearly report be
sent out to the various WORLD Goan organizations
, this report would help Goans abroad to
understand what GOA NRG cell was all about.
WE welcome your thoughts.
Lets discuss subjects that really matter .. and
other subjects too : - )
Thanks to Goan Voice - Eddie Fernande's who
makes the time to bring to our attention the many
problems we Goans abroad face. Please support his
in his efforts - as Fred says - say a small thank
- sometimes ! If nothing else.
My thanks to Fred Noronha for his TIME - he
made to come along with us and for entertaining
us at a Real Goan Restaurant - Fred is a great
believer of going * Dutch* no to * OPC * ( Other
peoples cost )he says ... each of us paid Rs. 30
! our Fish , Curry and Rice ...My thanks to
Bharat Kamat too , he was great company.
