Dear Miguel,
At the risk of being politically correct, I would suggest that the
appropriate name for our young lad and Goanet subscriber Clinton Vaz should
have been "environment specialist" in your article to the Goanet Reader.
Calling him Goa's Garbage Specialist does not conjure up any positive images
for what he has been doing.
The action shifted to St. Elizabeth HS on Saturday
17 April. Goa's garbage specialist, Clinton Vaz
from Benaulim, re-activated the compost pits set up
some years earlier with the sponsorship of the
Pilerne-based Green Ray Foundation [GRF]. It was a
happy occasion for Tony De Sa, Trustee of GRF and
former Headmaster of Sacred Heart High School,
Parra, the mother school of the more famous St.
Britto and St. Mary's High Schools of Mapusa. Funds
from GRF are available for similar projects in
schools anywhere in Goa, informed Tony.
Roland Francis.
