000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 On behalf of the Los Angeles Goans, I'd like to wish all of you a very Happy Goa Day 2005!!! Goans have travelled far and wide and we now have a presence all over the world. Goan voices can be heard from every country, across the globe and we can now say very proudly that we are indeed a Global Goan Community. Rene Barreto, whom you all know as the founder of World Goa Day www.goaday.com has approached me with the idea of an International Goan Youth Community, what I'd like to call YGI - Young Goans International. We all know that it's the internet that truly brings us all together and make us a Global Community. So, while there are several Goan web sites online already we noticed that there is no Goan Youth presence online at all. So, with Rene's request in mind I have come up with a web site dedicated to Goan Youth all over the globe. We are still formulating the entire scope of the site, but the idea behind it is to have a 'Goan Youth Portal'. A site where Goan Youth from all over the world can come together - meet, make friends, share ideas and thoughts, receive career guidance, discuss investment ideas and opportunities, network with one another on a global scale, the ideas and potential is endless.... this will not be a chat site, or a 'hook up' site. Young Goan professionals from all over the globe will be invited to be members and will post their bios online if they so desire. The idea is to have a site that actually provides value to it's members and has substance to it. So, on that note I'd like you to visit www.younggoans.com the start of a truly Global Goan Youth Community. The site is in it's beta form and we rushed to launch it online for GOA-DAY 2005, but it will be updated soon. If you have suggestions/recommendations, please email them to me via the site. Thank you for your time and make it a great day!!! Viva Goa!!! Ralph Figueiredo.
