AwF – Aquaculture without Frontiers
The first trip report from the AwF-UA Farmer-to-Farmer Programme [see news item dated May 26 2010: AwF and University of Arizona receive farmer-to-farmer aquaculture niche award from US-AID for details of this programme] has been received. It can be read in full on the Projects page of this website, see THAILAND: AwF-UA Farmer-to-Farmer Programme (Trip report June 2010).
Having given Aquaculture without Frontiers (AwF) a donation of £500 in 2005, Third World Aid made a second donation to AwF (UK) of £750 recently, following an appeal by the AwF Founder. The Directors of AwF are most grateful for the continued interest and support that we have received from this group of mothers in Marlow (England) and wish them every success in the selfless work that they do for the poor in developing countries.
Third World Aid (TWA) began life as the Ethiopian Aid Project (EAP) in 1974. A small group of young mothers from St Peter’s Church in Marlow responded to a cry for help from Father Gerry Stones, a priest working with the poor and impoverished in Ethiopia. Most of the mothers had young children at Primary School in Marlow.
