Essays invited from Goans and Goan Seniors. See 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 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 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).
4. Other topics related to Seniors.
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
