"Shabash" (not sure of the absolute correct spelling of the word)...however, I just wanted to congratulate everyone involved in taking steps to do anything good for Saligao. Everywhere you turn there are tons of people seeking their own selfish interests, so it's good to know that there still are many unselfish people out there. I'm sure there must be other good, hardworking, dedicated people besides Ash (Ashley, I hope you don't mind the abbreviation), but he's one of the better known because he keeps us informed of the "happynings" via Saligaonet.
Thanks again, Patsy Rico, lots of very valuable observations, there!

Do we have enough initiatives to keep our people > gainfully involved in work and hobbies that could give them a better, > fuller life? If not, how do we go about this? since u are talking abt open spaces.. let me tell u that a joggers/childrens park is proposed in the filed from the panchayet area extending up to the 4 rd chogm junction. also 2 new playgrounds have been proposed besides a garbage management site outside the village besides, the communidade also has independently marked out an area in front of the seminay til the goa science center which can be used for biofuel plantation.. also i had heard some talks for a solar power project though this has to be fully discussed Rico, i expect to see u at the gram sabha at least :-) tentativly its suposed to be held on the 29th of march.
