Hi Saw this email a little late since I was travelling to Australia ! I just wanted to know if you have a list of members or could I enroll myself in the list of Dubai Goans. On another note, in case you are interested in sponsorship for any Goan events such as the one below do let me know in future - I could try and help in some way.
