Teaching Children Konkani in Roman Script a Must: Fr. Gabriel Coutinho

Konkani Awareness Programme held in Vasco

 

Vasco: ‘It is time that we teach our children Konkanni in Roman script and

Dalgado Konknni Akademi must take the leadership in this great work’ said Fr.

Gabriel Coutinho, parish priest of St. Andrew’s church, Vasco. He was speaking

as the chief guest at the Konkanni Awareness programme organised by DKA on

September 30, 2018 at St. Andrew’s hall, Vasco. The President of Dalgado

Konkani Akademi, Tomazinho Cardozo, Secretary Vincy Quadros and Treasurer

Celso Fernandes were on the dais with Fr. Gabriel.

We had called many but congratulated those who made it as they have an

opportunity to learn something new, Fr. Gabriel added. Empathetic of the

importance of the programme, Fr. Gabriel expressed his happiness and said if

this sort of teaching is given to the children then our younger generation would

be able to learn the language better. Especially when the Roman script is used in

all religious services and activities, it is imperative that DKA share this

programme with the children., Fr. Gabriel added. DKA President, Tomazinho

Cardozo said that the Academy is fully appraised of this need and is work is on

in this regard.

Fr. Gabriel and his assistant, Fr. Camilo were present for the entire programme

where the method of writing, reading and using Konkanni in our day to day lives

was shared with the audience. Nearly 100 people attended the programme.

 

DKA Working Committee member, Daniel F. D’Souza worked tirelessly to make

this event a success. DKA Treasurer, Celso Fernandes concluded by thanking the

organisers and those who attended the programme.

A very good  initiative. I wish something like this can be started in Mumbai. 

Goans in Mumbai feel shy to speak Konkani, thus depriving their children of learning their mother tongue.

Regards,

Edwin Fernandes
