A very heart-warming story indeed.
There are perhaps thousands of such needy families in Goa. We need to reach
out to help them become self sufficient. As the saying goes "give a man
some fish and he will feed his family for a day, instead give him a fishing
line or fishing net and he will feed his family for a lifetime".
So glad to hear that there are such kind hearted individuals in Goa and in
the diaspora.
