Nursery ponds
Last winter we raised funds for a feasibility study on brackish water nursery ponds. This resulted in € 1750, and the study resulted in a plan for the construction of ponds. In July, private fund De Ziekenfondsbode at Amersfoort granted € 5.500 for this pilot, which took off in November 2011. More info, with pics, over here>>
Action plan 2011-2012
Subvention via the erstwhile regular means for development cooperation is no longer an option. Therefore, our new Action Plan 2011-12 constitutes the basis for permanent, and flexible, fundraising. You may find this plan here>>
