REPORT AND VOTE OF THANKS BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (GOA), GOA SUDHAROP.
GOA SUDHAROP HAPPILY COMPLETES A DECADE OF ITS FRUITFUL WORK IN VOLUNTEER SERVICE OF GOA AND GOANS, AND TO COMMEMORATE THIS MILESTONE WE CHOSE THE THEME FOR THIS YEAR AS “ YEAR OF GOAN VOLUNTEER SPIRIT”. ANOTHER EQUALLY IMPORTANT REASON TO CHOOSE THIS THEME IS GOA SUDHAROP BELIEVES THAT ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO ELIMINATE FROM OUR SOCIETY EVILS LIKE VIOLENCE, INTOLERANCE, COMMUNALISM, ECONOMIC INEQUITY, TERRORISM, ENVIRONMENTAL NEGLECT, ETC. IS THAT CITIZENS SHOULD WORK UNITEDLY TO CREATE A SENSITIVE AND CARING SOCIETY. AND, SINCE SOCIETY IS MADE UP OF INDIVIDUALS, EVERY CITIZEN MUST MAKE HIS OR HER INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS THIS NATIONAL GOAL.
