Aqua/Hydroponics training

Aquaponics Scholarships Needed

September 2, 2022 by Holy Name Monastery Leave a Comment

This is a great opportunity to help others. As you know, here at Holy Name Monastery we have been developing a sustainable food producing system for many years.  The fresh produce and fresh tilapia we bring to our kitchen has been a wonderful source of nutrition.  Unfortunately, many around the world are suffering from a lack of food.

We are having our fall Aquaponics training this October. Due to the difficult financial situation with our current economy, many are interested in attending yet find themselves short on cash to pay for the tuition. Here’s where you can help. In the past we have offered scholarships to students who qualified and so we were able to successfully assist them in their mission work abroad.

You can be involved by offering funds to be utilized for student scholarships for the fall training October 17-21.  The cost of the 5-day training is $990.  Please let me know if you have an interest. Thank you very much.
