Normally these reports are designed to keep you updated on the progress of our aquaponic greenhouses: how they fit into our educational methodology, what new things we are adding and how much we need your help to keep this all going. Of course, these things remain true. Students continue to play a vital role in our productive area, our new greenhouse is quickly approaching full productivity, and we very much still need your help to keep this all going. With all this focus on the what and the how, though, I am afraid that we have lost a little bit of the perspective on the most important part of this whole thing: the why. Why we do all of this and, more importantly, why you have chosen to continue supporting us.
This has been a momentous year for Amún Shéa and PEOF. New partnerships with Pestalozzi and FIAES, the CIAC and Brinker Science Lab, and the construction of the Casa Comunal are all huge steps forward and undoubtedly reasons for celebration. With all this expansion, we are becoming able to do more good for more people, which is exactly what PEOF stands for and exactly why you stand behind us.
A cornerstone of all this work, one of the most important projects that truly set PEOF’s work into motion at Amún Shéa, was the aquaponic greenhouse project. It remains a pivotal part of Amún Shéa’s work and influence in the community and your support of the greenhouses is perhaps more important than ever before.
