Private email below, name withheld. However, good idea on supporting Goan 
writers. George 


Dear George:
 
Thank you for the email. That's a wonderful achievement for Goa Sudharop over 
seven years! The
range of support extended gives one the idea of what can be done for human 
development when there
is a will.
 
One area that could use some incentive for development is the arts - literacy - 
reading and
writing among Goans. I feel Goans need to be encouraged to read Goans books and 
literature.
 
I know you've put out encouraging posts on the Goanet on this in the past, but 
maybe something
concrete can be done by Sudharop in terms of buying books by Goan writers and 
offering them as
prizes for writing contests or as  gifts on birthdays and special celebrations.
 
Congratulations to Goa Sudharop.
