Not long ago, our administrators at the Goducate Children’s Home in Cambodia reported that their tilapia fish ponds have taken off with lots of new fingerlings spawned within a short period of time.
It was thus with great anticipation that the Goducate representatives decided to try our hand at fishing when we visited the Home two weeks ago (20 to 23 July, 2011).
And we were not disappointed! Within 20 minutes, we managed to catch at least half a dozen medium sized tiliapia!
Most of the hundreds of fishes are still in the ‘nursery’ stage. They will be full grown by year-end and will be ready for harvesting for sale at the local supermarket. Just another step for our Goducate Children’s Home to take in the process to become self-sufficient and for them to help themselves.
