NEWS FROM CED: JULY 2005

 

HELLO COLABA.. WE ARE HOME AGAIN

 

After what seems like a very long time we are back in the Colaba Centre.. and all fixed up and painted. We have even been donated an air conditioner by a most generous friend of CED.. and are planning to get a second one, if you wish to donate towards this new one, we would be most appreciative !! Please come and see how the 'new' centre is and don't forget that everything is now at Colaba.

CRITICAL CONCERNS
---------------------------------------------

 

Is the title of a new monthly compilation. It consists of about 100 clippings from newspapers, journals, the net and other sources for anyone concerned about the critical issues and concerns of the day. It provides a monthly overview of developments, primarily for activists, NGOs and development workers who may not be in a position to access and read newspapers and journals on a regular basis but need to keep in touch with developments that are of concern to them. This month's edition features articles on rural employment, gender & society, child rights, urbanisation, environment, reservation Ngos & socail action.
