3RD EAST
AFRICAN GOAN CONVENTION
The recently concluded 3rd East African Goan Convention,
held in Nairobi 23rd to 25th August 2002, was a great
success for all East African Goans. The event was hosted
by the Goan Welfare Society, Nairobi.
Excerpts
from message of Chairman , Jack de Souza
Our pride
and joy was to see so many Goans from East Africa gathered
together in Nairobi in a show of friendship and togetherness.
A measure of our success is the numerous congratulatory
messages and acknowledgements that have been received
from many of the participants and more interestingly from
those who simply could not make it.
We would
not have been able to host the Convention in Nairobi successfully,
were it not for the cordial support and co-operation of
the NAIROBI INSTITUTE and the GOAN GYMKHANNA. To the Chairmen,
the Management and the entire Membership of these two
great Goan Clubs of Nairobi, the Goan Welfare Society
thanks and salutes you for your unreserved support during
the Convention.
Finally,
my thanks go to the Goans of Nairobi for attending the
Convention activities and for being such wonderful hosts
to our guests from Mombasa, Kisumu, Kitale, Eldoret, Kampala,
Tanga, Arusha, Moshi, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar.
