I refer to my mail regarding previous donor lists being circulated around the globe. I also earlier touched on the point that Minton & Schubert made about "The local / touristik authorities should be asked to contribute" & which I thought was being done, & threw in about "Tourism Minister being from Saligao" (would have thought it would be easier without it being regarded as favours or handouts because of the word "heritage"). So guess some of us are on the same wavelength including May. I am sure most Saliganvkars at Home & Abroad would have received by now an "Appeal" made by the Funds Raising Committee of the Church requesting help & generous donations to complete the final & 5th phase of ongoing renovation etc.. If not, I can get the same sent to you all through this Net if the "Fathers" or "Incharge" of this Net allow this, or they could send it too seeing that they are also in Saligao & would have a copy. Reproduced below is the request, ...however, the "Appeal" (giving details & the way in which donations could be made) is not with me at the moment....... so??? Rico, perhaps you could lend a hand here??? Annette Funds Raising Committee Church of Mae De Deus Saligao, Bardez Goa Dated 21.04.2013 Dear The Parish Priest Fr.
