[Goanet] World Goa Day 2020
Thanks to Dr.George Pinto for clarifying the origins of WGD. In the early years of 2000 Dr. Giese had also suggested a Goan Bank. I bet if this idea had to take off, the so called Rene would have also claimed that it was his baby. BC Colin, do not be fooled. History and facts are important and matter.??World Goa Day was initiated and started by Goa Sudharop. The idea was proposed by Filomena Giese, co-Founder of Goa Sudharop. Goa Sudharop paid for the initial set-up (website design, logo, domain, etc,) as one of Goa Sudharop's projects. I had initially suggested Jan 1 as the date - a new year, a new beginning?for Goans. The late Jorge Noronha (Portugal) suggested August 20 to coincide with Konkani being made the official language of Goa (1992). Goa Sudharop heavily promoted the idea of WGD. Rene was a Goa Sudharop advisor at that time but with a failure of character Rene brought the?publicity to himself and has never acknowledged?or corrected the record and promoted WGD as his own, never contributing a single penny (I hear this is still the case). I personally drafted many of the publicity emails Rene sent out, including articles for WGD.? For the record, Goa Sudharop did the initial work to launch?WGD and I pers onally spent a lot more time than Rene to get WGD off the ground. -*
Re: [Goanet] World Goa Day 2020
George Pinto did right to tell us how the idea of World Goa Day (WGD) came about and to remind us that history and facts matter. So can Rene Baretto set the record straight (if he still lives)? Goa Sudharop is a charity that has helped deserving children and I myself have contributed. But sadly it has failed to get the publicity it deserves. As for WGD, we never hear about it the whole year and then in August each year, a few noises are heard from unexpected sources claiming that the day is still alive. So is a Committee elected each year? It is not clear where on the globe the celebrations (if any) are held and what form they may take. Some years ago, somebody claimed that we have a unique quality called 'Goanness'. It was not properly defined and it died out. Is it worth pursuing the WGD idea or should it be given a decent burial? Perhaps George should have the last say. Eddie == -- Original Message -- From: "George Pinto" To: "Estb. 1994!

This is typical of some Goans who talk a good game about co-operation, unity but take all the credit. Then they ask why Goans are backward compared to other communities and Goans cannot move forward in unity, On Sunday, August 9, 2020, 07:45:38 AM PDT, colin d'cruz wrote: Jazz Goa has produced a two hour scheduled video broadcast on the 15th of August 2020 to co-celebrate Independence Day and the 20th anniversary of 'World Goa Day' initiated by Mr. Rene Baretto.
