appeared on VASCOKARS United net , I found it very
informative and thought it may be beneficial to Goans

Subject: Email ID for every Goan
Dear Rene,
Frogs croak when the rains come.Thank god they croak
at least once a yearfor a season. That is their
mating call. The perpetuate themselves.
I cannot say as much for Goans who create FREE yahoo,
hotmail, rediffmail or indiatimes IDs that die in the
same season that they are born. I am
still a votary of giving PAID email connection being
given to one student in every ward with a Cyberage
computer. Other villagers can access their mail
through this student. It will also reduce the load on
the cybercafes.
I did not realise the value of the service rendered by
our cybercafe system till I went to Bhutan on an
assignment recently. the charge there is Rs.180/- to
Rs.200/- per hour. Hotels charge even more. One can
access internet for Rs.20/- to Rs.40/- in Goa.
The Rotary Club of Mapuca now has created two
yahoogroups; one for the entire club and the other
exclusively for its Directors. It works
wonders for communication. Everyone knows what is
happening in their home club.
The few senior members who are not net savvy are now
asking their children to printout and give them the
mail. Saves time ,energy and money for the
club.
also keeps their email IDs from lapsing due to
non-use. We have two yahoogroups lists for the
Botanical Society of Goa, too. This is something that
every club can do.
Simon D'Souza wants to do tree planting in Vasco on
Saturday 16 July. Like Philip, he may be politically
motivated. It does not matter to me. If
he is organising tree plantation in an organised way,
I am with him. So is the BSG. We will not canvass for
him.We will definitely help him plant
trees in Vasco or elsewhere in Goa.
Viva Vasco.
Miguel

Many of our NGO 's will NOT support / Particiapte
anythig that does not concern in what they do , thay
at time do not even have Time to respond to an
email.
It is precicesly beacause of that we have made no
progress in Goa for the last ...what 45 years. Tell
me
- what have the SOME of the NGO's achieved.
I am glad that Daniel has brought up the subject
of
EMAIL ADDRESSES , Why cant we have all our Goans
have
an email addresses , I had suggested to the Goans on
the Goan Forum - that we try and get every Goan an
email address...ONLY Goanet joned in this effort ,
they even took it upon themselves to support this
project. I believe that it is Imperative that we get
every Goan to have an email address , by doing so ,
we
can reach those where nothig else can reach. !
What a shame , we have thousands of people of Vasco
who have an email address - But we can master even
200 members on this forum ...WHY ?
