Dear all,
By request, a third category is being added to the GOAN
Senior E-book to be published by Goa
Sudharop. The third category is "Tribute to Seniors". See
complete details below.
Goa Sudharop Community Development Inc., a USA-based
non-profit, volunteer NGO working for the betterment of Goa
and Goans worldwide, is celebrating 2006 as the YEAR OF THE
SENIOR. We intend to honour Goan seniors by publishing a
Seniors E-Book for which Goa Sudharop invites essays from
Goans on any of the following topics:
1. "Reminiscences of my Goan Youth" (essay to be written by
Goan Seniors, ages 60+).
2. "Giving back to Goa and Goans" (essay to be written by
Goan Seniors, ages 60+).
3. "Tribute to Goan Seniors" (essay to be written by Goans,
any age).
In accordance with these three themes, Goa Sudharop invites
essays from Goans based anywhere in the world. Your entry
should be of approximately 500-750 words (but no more than
750 words). Seniors can share their knowledge about their
Goan youth spent in any part of the world for the
"Reminiscences of my Goan Youth" topic. If you choose to
write on the "Giving back to Goa and Goans" topic, please
write about your experience or about any Senior (living or
deceased) known to you, who has done something for the
betterment of Goa and Goans. If you choose to write on the
"Tribute to Goan Seniors" topic, please write about a Senior
or Senior Group who you wish to pay tribute for something
they accomplished. Entries can be written as a tribute to
any Senior of Goan origin (living or deceased) who has done
something significant or who has made a difference to your
life.
You may send an essay on one topic or all three topics if
you wish. You may write about a family
member (living or deceased) if you wish. If possible, do
engage your children and grandchildren in
writing your essay in a cross-generational experience.
Entries can be sent by e-mail to
goainfonews@yahoo.com
or mailed to: IBONIO D'SOUZA, 'SUYASH GARDENS", 1st FLOOR,
FLATS AF3 & AF4, SWAMI CHINMAYA MARG, GOGOL, MARGAO, GOA,
INDIA, 403601.
Please mention your name and complete postal address (your
postal address will not be published).
Selected
essays will be published in the Seniors E-book by Goa
Sudharop with due credit to each writer. Goa Sudharop
reserves complete rights of publication. The Goa Sudharop
Board's decision with respect to publication is final.
Please forward this message to your friends, family,
e-groups, and organizations and their
members. Thank you in advance for your support.
