Goa ForGiving

Goa ForGiving initiated the Campal Creek Revival project in 2012. A God given Creek which everyone called a nullah had to be brought to the notice of the public, and that is exactly what we have been doing since 2012. Creating various awareness programmes like kayaking, bird watches, photowalks etc. We have continously been trying our best to get the people involved in restoring the Campal Creek to its prestine glory.

Today, the Campal Creek has become an inspiration to save all the waterbodies across Goa, which they too are in need of being saved.

This video shows the effort that we have put in over the years to create awareness for the public to join us in our fight to restore the Campal Creek.

The story of the Mermaid is known to most of us; a priceles porcelain statue that was treated as an ordinary piece of stone.

Goa ForGiving was instrumental in restoring this rare piece of art with the help of Sculptor Ghanashyam Chari and Shirish Desai.

Goa ForGiving believes in inspiring the Future generation, as we would like to see leaders in them who will change our society for the better. Children hold a soft corner in the heart of our Founder Chairman Armando Gonsalves, and he loves doing things for them! Goa ForGiving is a dedication to his two kids, and he finds immense pleasure and satisfation in contributing to their betterment.

This video shows the number of events and workshops we have done for school kids including the underprivileged kids over the years, in a bid to inspire them and create winners.

Goa FOrGiving along with the Botaniocal Society of Goa led by Miguel Braganza organised an organic farming workshop at the Gonsalves Mansion in Campal. The workshop was held on the ocassion of Father's Day which was dedicated to Mother Earth.

A lot of us love gardening, but are unaware of the correct method to use. Sir Miguel Braganza did a great job in clearing everyone's doubts. The late Ma'am Mangala Wagle attended the workshop along with her Hamara School children to introduce them to the concept of organic farming, which they later on executed at their home premises.

Goa ForGiving in association with the VHAG (Voluntary HEalth Association of Goa) and NIMR (National Institute for Malaria Research organised a workshop in the St. Inez slum are to educate the rersidents on the importance of hygiene.

Residents of all ages, from young to the aged attended the workshop. These tresidents live right on the creek and face a lot of malaria issues. At the end of the workshop, we asked the children to drop in guppy fish (fish that feed on mosquito larve) into the Campal Creek.

We are thankful to Dr. Raj Vaidya of VHAG and Dr. Ashwani Kumar (NIMR) for being a part of this workshop!

The Goa ForGiving Team visited the kid's Cancer ward at GMC on World Cancer Day. The kids of Hamara School accompanied us along with singer O'luv, musicians and other friends like Mandira Srivastava, Jane RodriguesHearing Aid Centre, Nolan Michael Mascarenhas and members of the Youth Hostel Association of India led by Manoj Joshi.

The kids had a great time as we sang a number of songs for them to lift up their spirits. Goa ForGiving is committed to doing things for the community and its people, and spreading joy to everyone is what we love doing the most!
