Residents
of the San Andres Archipelago have participated and contributed
to this forum frequently. One of the most notable contributions
was by Mr.
Dulph Mitchell who wrote 'I would like to hear from
other islands, how they manage excessive garbage. We are
now swimming in excessive garbage, with the threat of
health epidemics that will be harmful to our children,
youth and old people, and without any appropriate management
in sight. For this reason my question: is the disposal
of garbage a problem in other islands?' This request brought
in an 'avalanche' of replies in 2004, and a full
compilation of all the replies is available on the
website.
Other
notable contributions have included one on community
planning in Old Providence and Santa Catalina by June
Marie Mow in 2005.
It is planned in 2005 to hold two workshops, one in San
Andres and one in Old Providence/Santa Catalina, to demonstrate
this internet forum to the community and to facilitate
the further involvement of key community members in this
exchange.
