Dear Muriel and Mario, I have been following the controversy over the mobile tower and I applaud you and the people of Saligao who have been actively standing your ground to preserve the environment, health and well being of the village on the whole. We in first world countries are only now trying to undo much of the damage we have done to our natural resources and health in our rush to advance technology in our daily lives. We are now painfully aware that we can have both progress and a healthy environment if we do not allow ignorance, greed or impatience to dictate our actions. I strongly believe that our actions must be predicated on the long lasting effects they will have on our grandchildren. It gives me great pride to see that the villagers of Saligao understand that we are not only proud villagers in Goa, but also stewards of the land we occupy, and it is our duty to preserve it for future generations....
Your vigilance is an example we can all learn from. Lisette Indigenous Rights Quotes Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children. We are more than the sum of our knowledge, we are the products of our imagination.

He tried the same stunts in Aldona, but was denied permission by the Gram Sabha to set up a tower in a residential area. He has still gone ahead and installed a Tower without the requisite permissions albeit in a less populated area. From: Goanet News About the Video: On 31st January 2012, the residents of the close knit community of Abreu Vaddo in Saligao village in North Goa awoke to the sounds of rumbling machinery and the earth shifting under their feet. The people were told that the ground was making way for a new mobile phone tower. The community was shocked at this uninformed decision to erect an imposing metal structure which seemed to jeopardize the old and well-planned neighbourhood which prides itself on its serenity and sense of security. ---------------------------------------------------- Read all Goanet messages at: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/ ---------------------------------------------------- -- ................................................................ there *is* anOTHERgoa at <http://www.anothergoa.blogspot.com> & <http://www.youtube.com/anothergoa> ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' muriel & mario, c/o FULKAR, 6/22, sonarbhatt, saligao. bardez. goa. 403511. tel: 0832-2278276 / 2409999 <anothergoa AT gmail.com> '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' -- Saligao-Net is at http://groups.google.com/group/saligao-net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe email [email protected] -- Saligao-Net is at http://groups.google.com/group/saligao-net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe email [email protected]
