Goa Sudharop gave a Fellowship Award in 2004 to 82-year old Percival Noronha, founder of Goa Heritage Foundation and the Friends of Astronomy in Goa society. Percival Noronha has campaigned tirelessly to save the unique architecture of Goa and to educate Goan youth and the public in the science of astronomy. With the help of dedicated volunteers, he runs an unique public instruction program in astronomy and Public Astronomical Observatory in Panjim. We invite our Goa Sudharop supporters to send their donations to purchase a telescope for this program for our Year of the Child contribution toward science education in Goa. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. You can send in your donations to: Goa Sudharop, 67 Kingston Road, Kensington, CA, USA, 94707. Donations are tax-deductible for US residents. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Goa Sudharop
