We at Goa Sudharop mourn the passing of Melinda Powell at such a young age. She was a volunteer with Goa Sudharop for a few years before leaving for Ooty with her family. She coordinated workshops and activities with Vidya Vikas and was the Mistress of Ceremonies at the Goa Sudharop award functions at Hotel Mandovi. Always positive and upbeat, we were hopeful she would be successful against the illness which eventually took her life. All of us have fond memories of her, especially her grace and elegance. Melinda reached out to others and was a good role model for young women balancing the demands of family life and being a good citizen. We remain in her debt for the time and efforts she expended on behalf of Goa Sudharop in Goa.
Melinda has a wonderful family and we send our condolences at this difficult time. May she rest in peace. Thank you Melinda. Goa Sudharop
