Your generous and sympathetic call to have a Solidarity Meeting towards the sheer atrocities against our fellow Christian brethren in Orissa for killing the innocent people, priests, nuns and outrageously burning of churches is totally insane. Your profound contribution for healing the cause in togetherness by praying for God in humanity is very much appreciated at this hour.
I the undersigned along with our likeminded members amidst our Nuvem Kuwait Parishioners salute your commendable spiritual values for the organized prayers at VillaGE Inn where all have given their precious time for the love of GOD and where all the attendees silently prayed for the departed souls to let them have the eternal peace in the kingdom of heaven - Amen.
Though Seeing is said believing - But still those who dont see and still believe in the name of god will find the eternal blessing from heaven. Further more, I too wish you an extra good health to carry on the cross of spiritual salvation to formulate the mankind values and human kindness contribution, speciallay to those who have been deprived of their real humanity at work and other values. This you have very much articulately shown when there was a great injustice meted towards some nationalities at this place. Keeping your utmost desire in mind, let us once again pray for the departed souls AND pray to god to grant them eternal rest in peace for ever and ever in the kingdom of heaven - Amen.
May the hearts which are hidden in darkness to utter the distress call may shine upon with your kind of workmanship and contribution. God bless you and all those who took part for the Solidary Meet on 13th instant on your well organized contribution. All the best and may there be peace always in our community level too.
With best regards,
Conceicao Teotonio Gomes.

Parish Youth of Nuvem (PYN) beat Varca in finals
NT NETWORK
Parish Youth of Nuvem edged out Varca Sports Club 4-3 via the tie-breaker in the finals of 37th Custodio memorial football tournament, organized by Raia Sporting Club at panchayat grounds, Raia on Tuesday (6/08/2008). There was no score at full time.
Both teams started off in right earnest but it was Nuvem who called the shots in the first half as tries from Richard Colaco and Daniel Colaco were fisted to safety by Varca goalie Braz Reagan Alemao.
In the 12th minute a powerful 30-yard shot by Nuvem’s Joaquim Coutinho livened up the proceedings but his terrific try was tipped over the bar by Reagan, who used his height to good effect.
The festive crowd at Raia was kept engrossed by further goal-mouth thrills from Nuvem as Daniel Colaco seemed charged up to give his team the lead. But, his efforts were nipped in the bud by Varca defender Quelon who thwarted three good charges by the rival player as he braved the slippery pitch and drizzle to offer his best.
Varca’s only possible chance in the first half came off Agnelo Rodrigues, but his header missed the target off Alzy Coutinho’s deadly cross.
In the second half, Remy Colaco was in the thick of action for Nuvem as his twin attempts whizzed past the Varca goal and his last-ditch attempt to break the deadlock off a free-kick was superbly saved by Reagan with a forward lunge.
In the tie-breaker, Nuvem scored through Daniel Colaco, Joaquim Rodrigues, Richard Colaco and Marcus Carvalho while Richard Fernandes shot over.
For Varca, Carmo Rebello, Arnald Fernandes, Quelon Alemao were on target while Elvis Fernandes and Mohammad Shaikh missed their tries.
The Chief Minister Mr Digamber Kamat and south Goa MP Mr Francisco Sardinha awarded the winners and runners-up trophies along with Rs 15,000 and Rs 10,000 respectively.
Following prizes were awarded: Best forward of final: Remy Colaco (PY Nuvem). Man of the match: Carmo Rebello (Varca SC). Best defender: Quelon Alemao (Varca). Best goalkeeper: Regan Alemao (Varca). 1st Scorer of final: Daniel Colaco (PY Nuvem).

NUVEM VILLAGERS ..... in the news
Nuvem villagers demand special gram sabha
HERALD REPORTER
MARGAO, JULY 29 – Nuvem villagers have demanded a special gram Sabha meeting as promised by the Sarpanch to discuss housing projects proposed in the village.
Gram sabha members had last month submitted a representation to the Sarpanch demanding the special gram sabha as promised at the meeting held on May 18 to discuss issues relating to construction (commercial-cum-residential as well as mega projects) in the village.
Based on the representation, the Salcete Block Development Officer, Uday Prabhudessai had also requested the Sarpanch to take immediate steps to hold the special gram Sabha at the earliest.
However, Nuvem Civic and Consumer Forum maintained that despite several representations, the Sarpanch has not only failed to hold the special gram sabha, but has also failed to hold the July gram sabha meeting.
Forum Convenor Olencio Fernandes said the NCCF had held ward-wise awareness meetings on irregular water supply, erratic electricity, garbage menace, effect of bore wells and mega constructions which if allowed will bring immense problems later on, such as increase in migrant population, reducing Goans to a minority in their village.
According to Fernandes, as many as 14 letters from different wards were addressed to the Sarpanch, demanding holding of the special gram sabha to discus the construction projects.
The Forum has warned that if the Sarpanch fails to announce the special gram sabha meeting within a week, necessary action will be taken by the people of Nuvem.

Activists protest at Nuvem over delay in subway work
BY HERALD REPORTER
MARGAO, JUNE 20 – School children and civic and consumer rights activists took to the streets of Nuvem on Friday morning in protest against the inordinate delay in completion of the subway work.
Armed with placards and shouting slogans, the school children demanded the immediate completion of the water logged subway and posing danger to the school students and pedestrians.
That’s not all. The steel rods protruding from the subway is creating a nuisance for both pedestrians and motorists alike.
This morning, students of Holy Cross Convent came out on the street to protest against the inordinate delay in completing the work.
The school principal told newsmen that the school had lost a student two years ago and do not want to loose any more because of the incomplete subway.
She said the children are forced to agitate against the indifference attitude of the PWD department to expedite the subway work. “Are to going to wait for a tragedy to happen on the road. What would happen if a child falls into the waterlogged subway”, she questioned.
Maina Curtorim PI Dharmesh Angle later held discussions with the school Principal and assured to deploy a policemen at the site in the morning session. He, however, told the Principal to get the subway matter resolved at the government level.
When contacted, PWD Executive Engineer, Deshpande attributed the delay to the contractor abandoning the work.
Deshpande said the contractor has been asking for revised rates in view of the steep rise in prices of cement and steel. “We are in the process of terminating the contract and tender the work again”, he added.

Carmel College for Women, a Christian college, was established in 1964 to fulfil the long felt need for an institute for higher learning for women in Goa. The site for the college was generously donated by Mrs. Thelma Da Costa Lourenco of Margao, whose dream of a women’s college has become a reality.
The college is permanently affiliated to Goa University in the faculties of Arts, Science, and Commerce. It is managed by the Sisters of the Congregation of the Apostolic Carmel, a Roman Catholic Congregation.
Carmel college situated on Margao-Cortalim highway, has a spacious and modern building with adequate facility for study, games and recreation and a large campus for expansion. Nestled at the foot of the hills, it is an excellent place for study and reflection. Carmel college caters to the educational needs primarily of Catholic students. However all women irrespective of caste, creed and status are free to seek admission.
The college has been awarded 3 STAR accreditation by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), an autonomous institution of the University Grants Commission, placing it among the ‘A Grade’ colleges in India.
The Carmel Higher Secondary Section was started in July 1975. Within 30 years of its inception, it has made giant strides towards offering an all-round education to the budding young girls of the state, particularly of the village of Nuvem. The courses of studies include the General streams of Arts, Science and Commerce. The Vocational Stream has three sections – Commercial Garment Designing and Making, Office Secretaryship/Stenography and Computer Techniques.
