Victor D’Mello Community Centre
The primary focus of the VDCC is education, providing and enabling it for our local community. It is a reflection of our father’s lifelong work for the community. It will house a permanent library of contemporary reading, serve as an education centre for underprivileged village children, as a centre of scholarship and a venue for art, music and activities that enhance the local cultural milieu.
For example, the 'Assagao Advanced Education Programme' will nurture and fund Assagao youth towards high skill professional careers such as medicine, law, engineering etc. The 'Assa Re Gao' programme will focus on nurturing traditions and hosting community events of global calibre.
The 'Assagao Readers & Writers' programme has already commenced. It is a library for the village that has easy reading prose and poetry books in Konkani, Hindi and English. It has held two sessions already where Assgaokars have read aloud to the audience from the books and also their own essays.
