Bernard Ribeiro “Every Action of our daily Life should be influenced by gentleness, temperance, humility and purity”  SFdS  Jambo You might like a read I got from Facebook THIS CITY CHURCH WAS BUILT BY GOANS OF KENYA The renaming of Parklands Secondary School to Dr Ribeiro Parklands School in 2015 was to pay homage to an Indian Goan who not only donated the land on which it sits, but also as a salute to his community’s contribution in Kenya.

Consequently, in 1904, the Holy Family was built. It was established by the Holy Ghost Missionaries (now also known as the Spiritan ...

Several years back - as they were preparing their 100-year celebrations- I met a fine man, Vincent Azavendo, then the club chairman, who showed me around.

Subscribe I was a young journalist seeking to uncover memories of a city. I was lucky after discovering this small compound- on the way to Eastleigh - where the Goan collective memory was stored. Azavendo showed me old cabinets that were still overflowing with trophies of yesteryears. Still, the story behind this institute hid the secrets of a minority rac...
