Didn't quite understand FN's reference to the "relationship between the two". Which two are being referred to here?
I am glad that the youth of GS have started an example of fun with funding. I have always wondered why Goan organizations in Canada did not do likewise. The average net surplus of a Goan function held here in Toronto is anything from $500 to $3000. I know this for a fact. The usual action on a surplus is either adding to the existing assets of the organization thus burgeoning the liquidity for God knows what rainy day or in the case of individual organizers not allied to any formal body, making personal use of the profits made. It is my view that rich Goans in Goa (and almost everybody is wealthy there) don't do enough charity for their brethren and neighbors, spending their syprup on cars, additional flats, foreign jaunts, gambling and who knows what else. If they had to do the right thing, there would not be any need for disapora charity. The funds raised here for Goan functions when such a trend occurs should instead be spread on worthy causes in the local community, whether Goan or non-Goan. The idea of overseas Goans sending money for causes in Goa should in my opinion be a thing of the past unless there is some unusual disaster of large magnitude or special cases that require speedy redressal.
