Just learnt from Livia Noronha that her sister-in-law, Sister Maria Alina ac, passed away this week in Nagpur after a short illness. She was from the first St Mary's (Mapusa) batch. Sr Maria Alina was born in Mapusa, did her Portuguese Escola Normal (teachers' training) and taught in various primary schools at Curtorim, Majorda, Aldona, etc. In 1960 she joined the Apostolic Carmel convent in Mangalore and last year had completed the 50th year of her perpetual vows. She received the best teacher's award from the President of India when she was teaching in Delhi. A tribute to the many Goans who devoted their lives to the cause of education and service across India and beyond, far from their home! -- P +91-832-2409490 M 9822122436 Twitter: @fn Facebook: fredericknoronha Latest from Goa,1556: http://goa1556.in/book/goa-in-sepia-tinted-postcards/
