Construction for fish
farm begins
21 December 2006
Papua New Guinea:
The fish farm project is
under way. So far many construction changes have
taken place within the one-week period of project
implementation.
By the end
of this week (22/12/06), most of the construction
work should be completed. The pond will be completed
and the water should be let in at the end of this
week. Once the water fills up the pond and flows
out, we should be negotiating for purchasing the
fish fingerlings and fish feed (stock). This part
and purchasing of materials for transferring fish
among the pond is yet to be done. The feeding
and monitoring of the fish pond will begin early
2007 until the fish are ready for sale sometime
in May or June 2007.
Some of the
activities may not follow the actual plan, but
we have been flexible enough to adapt to changes
and challenges faced during the actual implementation
stages. However, so far things are turning out
to be more interesting for the youths and the
community as they are having pride in the project
funded by an international organization, which
is taking place in their rural community.
A few community
leaders are happy about the project and are begging
for youths to take ownership of the project and
do whatever is necessary to stay away from trouble
and focus in managing the project to earn income
for them.
There is
great excitement in the project and every stakeholder
is having pride regarding the project. I will
continue to update you (sponsor) in any major
activities completed with photos.
