----- Forwarded Message ---- Greetings! GOA Retirees and friends are putting together a nostalgic memoir of all home remedies/therapies our mothers’ used for minor ailments. Many of you will remember the awful, perhaps sometimes even nasty, tasting concoctions we were forced to swallow or inhale or wear on our bodies to cure our ailments.
Let’s make it fun and something we can hand over to our children/grand-children. Depending on demand, we will print copies and make them available in a book format for a minimal fee (printing costs). Perhaps our collective contributions will make the New York’s best selling list!. All articles must be e-mailed to Margaret D’Souza at: [email protected] If you wish to mail them in, please send them to: Greta Dias 32 Christie Dr. Brampton, Ont Dead-line for submissions is Oct 30th, 2010. The Goan Overseas Association, Toronto, does not assume, and hereby disclaims, any liability with respect to this Endeavour. Please be aware that the articles are merely a collection for documentation of old traditions and are in no way recommended for use for medical reasons. * * * Read Selma Carvalho's warmly-received book *Into the Diaspora Wilderness*, a journey through Goan life in Africa, the Gulf, England and North America ... gripping and well-told real-life stories.
