GL responds: Thanks for the great listing of issues by Frederick; yet we are told it is not a complete list. Yes, many of these issues are also being dealt around the world. So how have other developed and developing regions solved many of the social problems? Here is one solution and hope at-least one village in Goa can adopt it as a demonstration project. This solution is used on many parts of USA, Canada and even Russia. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROJECT Any cost like communication equipment can be paid for by the diaspora Goan ( village association); though in the era of personal cell phones little additional is likely to be needed; other that arm bands to legitimize the participants of the program. Folks who participated in the meet should perhaps be the leaders of the movement.

We discussed some of the issues facing Goa which Frederick has summarized below. By his own admission it is not a complete list and one that needs further work. But it is a great start. Interestingly, many of the issues facing Goa are also being dealt with around the world. The bottom line is each person needs to do something to make a difference. This is the least of what we owe future generations.
