Colva heroes Arwin Mesquita, Abu Dhabi http://www.oheraldo.in/newscategory/Letters/13
I appreciate the efforts of the Colva Civic Consumer Forum. It is amazing to see the persistence and determination of a small but spirited group of people, fighting to preserve my beautiful village against the onslaughts of destructive builders, corrupt politicians and other vested interests, who want to destroy the village for personal gains. Their efforts are a clear lesson to the overall susegad Colvenkars that things can really improve with a ‘can do’ attitude. I hope more villagers join these spirited activists. -- Please post your comments on my Blog: http://goanidentity.blogspot.com/ Please also see below: 1.
