A host of activities marked the Goan Welfare Association’s World Goa Day celebrations recently.
Among the highlights was the performance of pop star O’luv Rodriguez.
A number of local artists also performed at the show. Other memorable performance came from Simon D’Silva and his team.
A one-act play “Jugar” with a strong message on the necessity of inculcating good values in youngsters was well received by the gathering.
Former Goa chief minister Luizinho Faleiro, who was the chief guest, released the album “Goa”, scripted by Joe D’Costa.
While appealing to the Goans living outside their native place to stay united, Faleiro complimented the efforts of the local organisers.
He urged them to preserve the Goan traditions and customs.
Jaysingh Rane was the guest of honour and former Indian Community Benevolent Forum president Dr Mohan Thomas was a special guest.
