Dear all,

It is important to acknowledge the people and volunteers who support an organization 
and make it
successful.  Starting with this email, I will periodically write about a Goa Sudharop
hero/heroine, people who quietly donate their time, skills, money. They make a 
difference, away
from the limelight.

Sophia is in the 3rd grade here in the San Francisco Bay Area and is 8 years old. She 
does
volunteer work and helps others. In the process she has received donations from 
various donors (a
la  the Girls Scouts). Yesterday, in honor of International Goan Women’s Appreciation 
Day she
donated her collection of $336 to help children health care in Goa. Adults in the 
audience were
stunned by her generosity and immediately raised an additional $500 for the "SOPHIA 
FUND” to be
donated in Goa.

An eight year old has made a difference.  Some of life’s best lessons are learnt from 
children. 
Thank you Sophia, a genuine heroine in our midst and inspiration to us all.  

Best regards,
George Pinto
