The Amún Shéa Aquaponic greenhouse has developed into an icon of academic application and real-world solution building. The original greenhouse, financed by our Michigan GlobeMed partners, is now in its 8th month of production. It has been our laboratory, learning as we go and finding solutions together.
Our next step is to develop another model, focused on production for the local market. This one comes with another twist, as well, in that it will be planned and executed by students from three schools. Amún Shéa has invited students from the local public high school and the neighboring middle school to join the project. This forms part of a pilot project created by Amún Shéa and the Salvadoran Ministry of Education to introduce good practices and Amún Shéa methodology into the local public school system.
Your financial support to this project not only helps Amún Shéa students in developing real-world applications for their academic studies, but opens access to participation by public school students and contributes to improving education in El Salvador.
