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 built 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 this project is funded through a separate campaign, we will also need 450 dollars to cover the operating costs of the first month for the system.  These costs include Fingerlings (baby fish), concentrate (food for the fish), sprouts and chemical equipment to check on the systems status, such as easy strips which calculate the NH4 Ammonia in 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 el 2023 se construyó e inauguró una nueva escuela pública en San Andrés Osuna. Ecoconomista fue invitado a construir un sistema acuapónico en estas instalaciones para la comunidad de San Andrés Osuna. Una vez que este proyecto se financie mediante otra campaña que también se encuentra en www.ecoconomist.com, también se necesitarán 350 dólares para cubrir los costos operativos del primer mes del 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.
