Great work guys, much appreciated. Also request the village Panchayat to
place bins with request to place waste in those bins and not to litter.
Keep Goa Clean. (SPACE {Society for Promoting the Arts, Culture and
Education} and Grace Parish Youth, Chorao spent the afternoon of the
Republic Day Holiday (26/01/2017) cleaning/sweeping/ collecting plastic and
solid waste from the Chorao ferry point.)

SPACE {Society for Promoting the Arts, Culture and Education} and Grace
Parish Youth, Chorao spent the afternoon of the Republic Day Holiday
(26/01/2017) cleaning/sweeping/ collecting plastic and solid waste from
the Chorao ferry point. Again, they swept the entire road area of the
ferry crossing. To their surprise, they collected only two and half bags
of solid waste as opposed to 8 bags of the similar clean-up a month ago.
Christa Cardoso, Nirmala Institute final year student works diligently
with youth to motivate them. She feels that such projects send valuable
community level messages 'home'. Vrushali Keserker, TYBCOM, Dempo
College, was impressed with the co-operation of commuters and general
public and believes that eventually people will take care of public
spaces. Young Aryan Mortimer, Francis Estibeiro and Analee Britto are
delighted with the co-operation of the Forest Department and that, the
Panchayat has respected their demand by sending the village waste
management team to lift the waste. Analee even convinced her father to
join the drive. Way to go!
