Short Story
San Andrés Osuna is a village in Guatemala which was recently devastated by the Volcan de Fuego’s eruption in 2018. Although its villagers were not direct victims to the eruption, access to the town has been completely obliterated, and the government of Guatemala is unwilling to mend the damaged infrastructure, due to the chances that the infrastructure might keep getting damaged due to volcano activity anyways.
A new public school was build and inaugurated in January of 2023, in San Andrés Osuna. Ecoconomist was invited to build their first aquaponic system in this school for the community of San Andrés Osuna. Once the aquaponic system is funded through a separate campaign to cover the project’s second month’s operating costs. Once the first two months of the system have been covered, we hope that the system will be able to be self-sustainable using the sales made thanks to the system. These costs include concentrate (food for the fish), sprouts and chemical equipment to check on the systems status, such as ‘easy strips’ to check on the NH4 Ammonia of the system.
San Andrés Osuna es un pueblo de Guatemala que fue devastado recientemente por la erupción del Volcán de Fuego en 2018. Aunque sus habitantes no fueron víctimas directas de la erupción, el acceso al pueblo ha quedado completamente destruido, y el gobierno de Guatemala no está dispuesto a reparar la infraestructura dañada, debido a la posibilidad de que siga sufriendo daños debido a la actividad volcánica.
En enero de 2023 se construyó e inauguró una nueva escuela pública en San Andrés Osuna. Se invitó a Ecoconomist a construir su primer sistema acuapónico en esta escuela para la comunidad de San Andrés Osuna. Una vez que este proyecto se financie mediante una campaña independiente, también necesitaremos 250 dólares para cubrir los costos operativos del segundo mes del sistema. Una vez cubiertos los dos primeros meses de funcionamiento del sistema, esperamos que el sistema pueda ser autosostenible utilizando las ventas que se realicen gracias al sistema. Estos costos incluyen alevines (peces pequeños), concentrado (alimento para los peces), brotes y equipo químico para verificar el estado de los sistemas, como tiras reactivas que calculan el NH4 de amoníaco en el sistema.
