| Thanks Fred for this informative and short news-letter | | I particularly like Mr Ben Gonsalves proposal to institute a scholarship in memory of one of his relatives to help astudent get | through medical training at G M C, Goa. A few more such scholarships for specific studies at Goa University and also for | specialisation abroad would go a long way to helping our community get ahead. | | In fact with the multiplication that foreign funds get on being sent into India, emulation of Ben's proposal should be encouraged. | However, at this end we have to ensure that the candidate who is awarded the scholarship really and truly deserves it -- no | political or family ties to influence the decision of the selectors. | | Other subjects that I appreciate is your war against CASTE among so-called CATHOLIC - CHRISTIANS. | | Cheers | | Aloysius | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Frederick Noronha (FN)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | To: "GOANET" <[email protected]> | Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 12:19 AM | Subject: [Goanet]Goanet News Bytes * July 21,2005 * | | EDUCATION | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | SCHOLARSHIP POSSIBLITIES AT GMC: Ben Gonsalves of Brampton in | Canada writes in to say that his family in Toronto is considering | the award of an annual scholarship to a student at the Goa Medical | College.
