Mario, Muriel bag Malvina Athaide Award
BY HERALD REPORTER www.oheraldo.in
PANJIM, DEC 18, 2005 - Mario Mascarenhas and Muriel DSouza from Saligao have bagged the Malvina Athaide Award for their outstanding efforts in advocacy for social justice in Goa.
The award was given away by Malvinas sister on the first day of the Goa State Consultation on
Trafficking in Women & Children held at the Caritas Holiday Home in St Inez on Saturday. It was instituted by Malvinas husband, Dileep Athaide, after her death in Vancouver, Canada, on September 25, 2004.
Malvina, originally from Saligao in Bardez, before settling abroad, was at the forefront in her work with the underprivileged and marginalized in the villages of Pernem taluka in North Goa. She and her group also worked with hutment dwellers in Porvorim educating them about their basic rights.
It was during this time that she met Dileep, whom she married in 1984 and left for Canada. But even from there she never lost sight of her fight for social justice in Goa. Dileep said it was his wish to create an award that would honour Malvinas memory by recognizing the work of individuals or organisations involved in social justice.
