QUOTE Prof Adolfo Mascarenhas BA Hons. (London) MA Ph D (UCLA) Dip Ed, is a Tanzanian Goan. Started his University career as a Teaching Assistant in California. Offered a full time employment in the East African Universities -- he chose the University of Dar-es-Salaam; shifted to the Bureau and then the founder Director of the Institute of Resource Assessment and eventually Director of Postgraduate Studies. He has held various positions in Tanzania and Internationally. Main interest: Development, Environment, Hunger, Urbanization and IK. He became the founder director of a multidisciplinary Institute of Resource Assessment, and linked academia with development issues. He was one of the three professors singled out for his services to the nation, by President 'Mwalimu' (Teacher) Julius Nyerere. UNQUOTE In Goa, his mobile is 9823398581. When we spoke on the phone, I was keen to put him in touch with some of our other interesting Quepemkars -- Walter Menezes and Dale, Konkani writer Jass Fernandes, theatre personality (and campaigner) Hartman de Souza, among others. It's time for regions like Quepem to also claim their space in cyberspace, and focus more on their potential and problems there! If anyone knows of interesting persons around there, please play the linking role and put in touch! FN (.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)-(.)
