Comment by Olencio
Fernandes of Mississauga, Ontario,
"The news of the establishment of a better Library
equipped with rich literature, books, original
manuscript in Konkani, and with a Goan name ought to
make our lives infinitely richer and more abundant
then before. That we now have knowledge available to
every Goan and that the lack of anything, in the
field of wisdom, necessary and desirable to human
beings does not fit the constitution of rights.
Furthermore, we hope our future generation will
benefit from this feat and profit from the joint
efforts of the Goans who with great sacrifice
assisted in any way in this project."
