    New Year Resolutions 2010

    By Donna Dawson

    We all seem to use this time of year to make new resolutions, new goals and new plans. Why? A new start perhaps, a new happiness that there is a new year ahead of us to make a difference. There are as many reasons as there are people so I am going to share with you some of mine.

    To see more of this beautiful country and to always respect it. I have lived here just over three years and am astounded at its beauty but am saddened to see so many areas where people just do not see its beauty and use it as a refuse dump. Not only is this an eyesore for tourists, but it is also prime breeding grounds. It all starts with one person…

    To help more animals in distress – two excellent places that could use your help are a shelter in Arraijan ( maripily29@hotmail.com ) and Spay Panama. These groups are so in need of your support and I know how easy it is to forget about them when you are tucked away inside your gated communities – don’t forget about them. It is not their fault that there so many strays, but with proper education those numbers can be reduced and those living will have a better quality of life. You can access Spay/Panama at http://www.spaypanama.org/ 

     

    To support more local growers because we know that if we do, not only do we get good food, but we support and help the country grow. Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables that are grown by people who love their land and only want to improve their own lives. Support them by visiting their markets. Don’t forget their special events that take place too!..

    It all happens with one person at a time. While you are out and about, please take the time to also enjoy the flora that surrounds you – just imagine what this country would be like if it didn’t exist.
