NEWS FROM CED: JULY

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. For more information
