Subject: Goan Identity Movement - Ad hoc UAE committee
Post the recent signature campaign conducted by UAE Goans and submitted in
December
2008 to the Governor, Chief Minister, Opposition Leader & NRI Commissioner, An
ad-hoc committee met on 16th January 2009 in Dubai, to discuss opportunities to
preserve Goa & its Unique Identity. It was noted and agreed by all, that the
present
scenario prevailing in Goa, was a result of mismanagement and lack of
constructive
foresight and if not rectified, it would be very detrimental to the future of
Goa
and Goans and that it would adversely affect our present and future
generations.
Among the many ideas suggested for the cause were (1) Setup of international
network
of NRG's, in view of better coordination and more participation in our
constructive
programs (2) NRG's to Adopt respective villages so as to concentrate and
analyze
the problems of individual villages and then direct actions (3) Maximise
Awareness
Campaign as it was noticed that a lot of Goans were misguided and facts
misinterpreted.
Goans willing to support or contribute to this genuine cause are welcome to
contact
