Goa Sudharop: Seniors E-Book

A series of essays as a tribute to Goan Seniors in celebrating 2006 as the YEAR OF THE SENIOR.

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 honor Goan seniors by publishing a Seniors E-Book for which Goa Sudharop invites essays or poems from Goans on any of the following topics:

1. "Reminiscences of my Goan Youth" (essay/poem to be written by Goan Seniors, ages 60+).
2. "Giving back to Goa and Goans" (essay/poem to be written by Goan Seniors, ages 60+).
3. "Tribute to Goan Seniors" (essay/poem to be written by Goans, any age).
4. Other topics related to Seniors (essay/poem to be written by Goans, any age).

In accordance with these themes, Goa Sudharop invites essays from Goans based anywhere in the world. 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Please mention your name and complete postal address (your postal address will not be published). Your entry should be of approximately 500-750 words (but no more than 750 words). 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.
