This project will provide waders for my students, allowing them to participate in hands-on fish sampling surveys without worrying about ruining their uniforms. These surveys are a vital part of learning aquaculture techniques and give students real-world experience in scientific data collection.
Waders will empower my students to fully immerse themselves in fieldwork.
By providing proper gear, we ensure that all students, regardless of background, can safely and comfortably engage in these activities. My goal is to equip students with the tools and confidence they need to explore aquaculture careers while fostering a love for environmental stewardship.
What makes my students special is their enthusiasm for hands-on learning and their commitment to making a difference in their community. With your support, they’ll gain invaluable skills and experiences that will set them apart as future leaders in agriculture and aquaculture.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
