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
