The Connect Global Team has been investing in Aquaponics since our inception. On our First Official Trip as 'Connect Global' to Cusuna, Honduras we built 5 aquaponic systems. We have learned a lot since then, and our friend and partner Jorge Amador has built many more complete systems and taught several people his skills as well. We plan to build and facilitate an Aquaponic Training Center in Honduras soon.
We have been able to help families who are in need, and one of those families is the Valiente Family.
Of the hundreds of stops we’ve made to personally distribute food and other basic necessities to our friends, neighbors and families in need the Valiente Family may be one of my most fun and treasured memories.
Señora Rosita Valiente, who has accomplished 72 years of life, told me she was born in to the circus business and has loved entertaining families all across the nation her entire life.
Together we have already provided thousands of meals to people in need. We have worked with several local leaders to ensure we are getting to those in need and that we are doing it safely and securely. As the lockdown is extended this week in La Ceiba, Connect Global plans to continue purchasing and distributing as many Family Sized Meal Kits as possible, and we wouldn’t be able to help these families without the generosity of so many both in the US and here in Honduras.
Connect Global partnered with Pastor Allan and Waldina Lorenzana of CCI Church in La Ceiba, Honduras as well as several other concerned pastors, doctors, church members, and friends to help bring relief to those in need during this global crisis. Thank You to everyone who has given to make this possible.
