As many as 53 crewmembers were from Goa, India. They returned home to offer prayers and thanksgiving for emerging safe (one Goan-origin youth, based in Mumbai or Bombay, was still untraced though), and talk of their issues and concerns. Also a recording of a Mass in Konkani. The cruise staff talk about the difficulties they face (in getting their CDC documentation and banking remittances), and the need for a Seafarers' Commissioner, as a nodal agency dealing with their issues. A nautical college could make a difference in the jobs people from Goa get on board the ship. Fr Freddy D'Souza, a Pallotine priest who has travelled with some cruise ships, said the Mass. http://www.archive.org/details/GoanThanksgivingAfterTheCostaConcordia This audio is part of the collection: Community Audio Artist/Composer: Recorded by FN/Frederick Noronha Date: 2012-01-27 Keywords: goa; costa concordia; crew; salcete; bambolim cross; thanksgiving; survivors; cruise ship Creative Commons license: Attribution 3.0 Contacts: Goa Seamen Association of India presid...@goanseamen.com Dixon Vaz, GSAI dixonvaz112rediffmail.com Fr Freddy (has been a volunteer priest chaplain on seven cruise ships) frfreddy_dso...@rediffmail.com PHOTOS: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/ -- FN +91-832-2409490 or +91-9822122436 f...@goa-india.org Books from Goa,1556 http://scr.bi/Goa1556Books Audio recordings (mostly from Goa): http://bit.ly/GoaRecordings --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
