This was followed by a thanks giving mass to thank the Lord for the services of Fr. Jose Ubaldo D'Cunha as the parish priest and Fr. Jeronimo Afonso as the asstt. priest . After the mass end few representatives of the various groups in Betalbatim spoke about the good work that Fr. Ubaldo has left behind and showered praises on Mr. Francisco Xavier Pacheco who was instrumental in getting the front and backside of the church beautified., it was very touching to see Mickky get emotional as he voiced his gratitude to Fr. Ubaldo for giving him an opportunity to contribute to the Parish and the crowd for standing by him during his difficult times. The Parish got together to forget and forgive and all differences were ironed out on a happy note . Fr.Ubaldo you may be no longer in our parish, but in our hearts we hold you close for the wonderful person you are. Every visit to the garden will remind us of the love you spread for nature and the greenery you left behind .

Cleaning up Betalbatim

Once a shy village where development seemed a distant dream, now Betalbatim is moving ahead with constructions , better roads, eat-outs ..more picnics to the famous sunset beach near Nanu Resorts, or the other famous patch Lovers beach, all this makes puff up our chest with pride that we are modern now.

We might still have the small mini buses plying at snails pace which at times even a toddler can over take with a tricycle, but addition of 2 and 4 wheelers are quite evident on sunday at the church square. This all adds up to a serious garbage problem. We had waste management getting into place with Clinton Vaz conducting workshops in collaboration with Betalbatim Civic and Consumer Forum , and support of the Village panchayat Betalbatim.

The segregation of wet and dry waste which can be at the point where waste is generated helps in systematic disposal of waste. There are other types of waste like E-WASTE that needs careful processing and proper knowledge to dispose to prevent damage to Ecology . One initiative by a Group TenPlus founded by Ashley Delaney has given us an opportunity to keep the earth clean for our future generations.
