Work day on the fish farm project

This past Saturday about 12 of the deacons from the local churches met together at the property of Knox Theological College to work on the fish farm. Several months ago the pond was hand dug by these guys with the hope to raise some Tilapia. I thought this project would provide a good opportunity to have the churches work together so that they can provide some food for their widows, generate some income to inject into their diaconal funds while at the same time learning some business practices. If the fish do well this project could quickly become self sustaining with to potential to add a second pond.

Below are some pictures of the work:


We started by clearing some of the weeds around the pond. 




Following that we got a net to clear out as many frogs as possible. 




Following this a nice dose of lime brought any remaining frogs to the surface for easy removal!
