Dear Friends
On 31st May 2006 is the 250th birth anniversary of Abbe Faria, the famous Goan.Speaking of the great men of Goa, Francisco Correia Afonso had this statement:"Os génios da nossa Raça"> the "Geniuses of our Race" .Abbe Faria was one of them.
You can read more about him in the attachment.
A campaign has started to request the Government of India, to issue a commemorative postal stamp.
Unless we pressure the G.O.I and our local one, nothing will materialize.
I am sure that the Goan associations in the Diaphora will organise a function on that day.
Please join and fwd to your friends for the glory of our GOA !
Regards
