This is the only school in Goa that has the distinction of conducting a plant festival for students and adults every year for 14 years in a row! I am proud to have been a part of it right from day one. The theme of this year is "Plants that give us oil". From the coconut oil of the Konkan coast used for cooking, to the Cashew Nut Shell Liquid [CNSL] used to waterproof canoes and termite-proof rafters and to the Jatropha oil that now is used to produce bio-diesel[ technically known as Jatropha Methyl Esther or simply JME] for the Mercedes Benz-Daimler-Chrysler cars, oils play an important role in our lives. I am sure the students will come up with their own innovative ideas about oils. The inter-school competition in projects on water management [rain water harvesting, watershed development, recycling] will encourage school students to participate in making our environment better than it is today. Thinking makes the man. I am sure the [EMAIL PROTECTED] will get hundreds of members as has the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. I am sure the Britto boys and SMC girls and St.Xavier's students will tell SFX Siolim students whom they know in any part of the world about this new list and help it to grow. Together Everyone Achieves More. TEAM. Confucius wrote ," A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step." We have taken that step in promoting environmental awareness on 15 August, 1992. Today we have taken another step. Viva Goa. Miguel Viva Goa.Say it with feni.
