Excellent choice fellas and I am not surprised - a lot of good homework from some very diligent and wise guys! I remember Roland Martins from his participation in the movie on Pedophilia made by a young man from Bombay and I was very impressed by his determination to help these kids many of who were children of migrant workers also an exploited lot by many of our very corrupt construction dons. Oddly the movie was screened at the Bodwoin college - one of the many mini Ivy league colleges in New England and I remember everyone was moved by it. I think Nishita was in it too - I may have gotten her name wrong but she came across as very vocal and very upset with the way these kids were so sorely neglected and marginalized. Back to the purpose of my posting - good choice for the 2003 Goenchem Prize and I wish Roland Martins all the best. --Helga ----- Original Message ----- From: "Santosh Helekar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2003 12:38 PM Subject: [Goanet]Winner of the 2003 Goenchem Prize
