Over several decades, Goans have immigrated abroad to both lands near and far. There is a high population density of Goans in Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. However these Goans still stay true to their roots and often gather for annual events whether it be sports, birthdays or feasts.
Some Goan communities often communicate on a global scale, with use of the internet. For example in the United Kingdom there was a lack of community spirit amongst the youngsters. 'Young London Goan Society ' was formed. This allowed young Goans to mingle with fellow Goans in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
YLGS now has many social events such as charity balls, day trip to amusement parks, salsa nights and the monthly meetups. There is something for everyone. YLGS started about two years back and has now expanded dramatically with over 400 members not only in the UK but Holland, Germany and Zimbabwe. YLGS now have their own newsletter and website. This exemplifies the Goan spirit.
