Dear Edwin (dropping the formalities in true Goanet fashion), Thanks for replying. Goa Sudharop is not about leadership but about cooperative effort. We support various projects in education, safety, environment etc. that our team in Goa recommends to us. We advertise the projects or needs and then raise money as best we can from generous donors here. In this way, we are trying to build cooperation and support for a better Goa. No private organization can hope to solve such a big societal problem as slums. The primary cause of slums is poverty and lack of public policy solutions for job and housing needs of the poor in India. When poor people do move to places where there might be employment, neither their employers or local authorities do anything to provide them with housing, services, and infrastructure. In order to remove slums, you would have to remove poverty through large-scale public programs. Filomena
