New AwF website gets kudos

Since launching on Tuesday, May 18th (12 days ago), the new AwF website has been visited 2,111  times (avg. 176 visits/day). The Board of Directors has received numerous emails and phone calls of congratulations from colleagues and friends; the response has been extremely positive. Below are some examples:

From Peter Edwards, Bangkok, Thailand: The new website looks good and should help the cause.

From Narayanan Kutty, Kerala, India: Have seen the new website. It looks great – now the possibilities of its expansion as needed seem to be infinite. 

From Wagner Valenti, Brazil: I have visited the new webpage of AwF and liked it very much! Congratulations to you and other directors!”

AwF and University of Arizona receive farmer-to-farmer aquaculture niche award from US-AID

We are pleased to announce that the US-AID has awarded $97,528 in a one year grant to administer a Farmer-to-Farmer program sending volunteers to India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago and New Caledonia to work with local aquaculture farmers to implement more sustainable farming techniques.  The original proposal can be seen on our projects page (current projects and field activities).  

Together we can achieve wonderful things

AwF is undertaking a number of initiatives to make itself better known to the glogal aquaculture community and to the public at large.

To the right is an advertisement that appeared in the March 2010 issue of World Aquaculture, published quarterly by the World Aquaculture Society (WAS). The ad space was donated by WAS, which is very much appreciated as all funding received is targeted to development projects.

If your organization has a publication, please considering running one of our ads in it because “Together we can achieve wonderful things.”
