Cylindrical growout tanks were made from simple ferro-cement construction.<br /> <br /> In addition to the 12 growout tanks, a hatchery and larval rearing facility was also constructed. All of this took a total of 5 and half weeks to complete. A hands-on workshop on induce spawning of Asian Catfish was also included.<br /> <br /> The newly completed tanks were stocked with a fast growing hybridized Tilapia. This aquaculture facility is estimated to produce 7,500 kg or 16,535 lbs /year.<br /> <br /> Simultaneously, Susan Tsao conducted daily sewing, art and baking lessons for the children and the staff 5 sewing machines were donated to the center and all the children were so excited in learning to sew. The girls made new skirts and the boys made backpacks.<br /> <br /> For more information about aquaculture based mission outreaches, please contact Centre for ACTS: bernie.tsao@gmail.com
