They will be explaining a project for Honduras to purchase fishing nets for the village Colonia Episcopal and asking for offerings to help buy one net. The men of the village use the nets to catch fish to feed their families and to bring in much needed income. Every net that is purchased will be given with the understanding that the cost of the net will be paid back over a period of several months, in order to buy more nets. Fishing nets are about 300 meters long, and on a good day, can catch 70lbs. of fish or shrimp. The students hope to gather enough offerings to pay for at least one fish net.
Tickets are available through mail order or by phone charge.
