The year is 2345 CE and 9 year-old Supriya Fernandes has just returned from the Roland Francis Goa Museum. As she dips into the waters of the magnificent Mandovi from the last five square meters which greedy developers and politicians have not touched, she ponders her history project for online school (in the old days children used to physically go to school).
She has an option - as an orphan of history she can write about the American War of Independence, the Battle of Waterloo, the Russian Czars, etc. Her mind can belong to someone else, she can tell someone else's story and convince herself it was her history. Or the better option - she can own her past, honor it and write about her ancestors. She can read the GOA SUDHAROP GOAN SENIORS E-book or GOA SUDHAROP GOAN WOMEN E-book and do her project on one of the essays/chapters. Give something to your Goan future. Give Supriya a chance to know you or some Goan. Send in your submission today for the E-books. See www.goasudharop.org for more information and email your essay to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please note since this is an ongoing effort there is no deadline. We will periodically update the online versions of the E-books. Please pass this message to your friends and family and other d-lists. Thank you for your support.
