Happening in the in Mississauga the city next to Toronto, Canada.
Question: Why has something like this not happened in Goa schools?
The Japanese, www.japanfoundationcanada.org and Germans,
www.goethe.de/ins/ca/tor/enindex.htm?wt_sc=toronto provide similar
language support. Maybe many additional countries. I have not yet
investigated.
Centro de Língua Portuguesa/Instituto Camões does provide courses for
adults and those 16 and over in Goa. See:
http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2012-June/222291.html and

Why not get them directly involved with much younger students and
involved in school system directly?
