Fr Silveira named Goa Messenger Man of the Year
HERALD NEWS DESK PANJIM, JAN 7, 2005
� Director of ChildLine 1098 -Goa and the Don Bosco
Salesian Society Services (DBSSS) Fr Francis Silveira
has been named the �Goa Messenger Man of the Year
2004� for his immense service to distressed children
in the State, despite great odds, and as such making
Goa a safer place for children. Goa Messenger, the
State�s fortnightly tabloid, stated in the editorial
of its January 1 edition that Fr Silveira�s work is
secular, transcending the barriers of religion,
mocking the fundamentalist forces that are seeking to
divide the historically peaceful co-existence of the
Goan people. Thirty-nine-year-old Fr Silveira�s team
has helped rehabilitate over 3000 abused and
ill-treated children through education, medical
facilities, basic food supplies and counselling.
The Goa Messenger personality of the year needs to
fulfill the following criteria � he/she needs to have
courage of conviction, honesty and integrity, moral
fibre, commitment to one�s cause, the tenacity to face
and overcome tremendous odds, and an extra-ordinary
selflessness, which puts others before self.
