Fish ponds at Goducate Children’s Home in Cambodia teeming with tilapia

It has been 2 weeks now since the two ponds dug by the children have been filled with water. The happiness and the sense of fulfillment among the children was undeniable.

80 tilapia were put into the pond. Some of the female ones were pregnant at the time. Now there are hundreds, if not thousands. The multiplication indicates that the environment—such the weather and the water—are suitable for the fish. At feeding time the entire pond seems to be filled with fish. We hope that the ponds will go some way towards making the Children’s Home self-sustainable.

Thje pond is maintained by several of the older children working under the supervision of the home’s administrator.
