March 19 is the feast of St Joseph. St Joseph was the patron Saint of the Dr. Ribeiro Goan School in Nairobi Kenya. The School was a pioneer and principal centre of learning in Kenya for Goans of every strata of life. It churned out many Goan personalities in various fields and was an institution dedicated to excellence in the field of education. The feast of St Joseph was celebrated annually, and each and every child who attended the school participated. For a very nominal fee, the school provide some snacks and a pop and although all students were present on that day, Lessons were suspended and a Soccer game between Bardez and Salcete was played on the schools Grounds. I wish to take this opportunity to wish all Ex Students of the school a Happy Feast. I wish we could arrange a get together in Toronto where there are several Ex Students to celebrate the feast and to reminisce about the good old days.
Regards...... Manuel ( Eddie) Tavares.
