So here I am reading the Platinum Jubilee Celebration of the Goan Association of Arusha .....and most impressive there were messages from Goan CLUBS Mombasa, Tanga and Nairobi and etc .
It clearly has pictures and illustrations galore .....I was paying attention because many of the children I had known including the Carneiro Millenium Baby (who was just a few months old required an Ayah so her Goan Mother could participate+ The Pictures show a certain Goan baker called TRAVAS from the island of Pemba, uses his own house so that Goans could meet ....it functioned like the club. Many years later proper premises were built. A Hindu. not a Goan donated the land. What audacity and pomposity that you exclude a TRAVAS. there is a whole generation of TRAVAS. I am aware of a couple of them in Arusha. Yes they are earning their living and are useful members of the city of Arusha them Let me come to the Tanga Goan Celebration. We are sitting and here is this pompous "Chaiman" comes to the table....and says that African are not allowed. I had to warn him. that if the Ayah was forced to leave the table I would report him to the Local Authorities for discrimination against Africans ..... We should try to maintain our culture. Baby Millennium elder sister aboy 9 years older, is fluent in Konkani and participates in Tiatre when they are produced, Long Live Progressive Goans.
