Biofilter

At it's most basic a biofilter seperates fish waste allowing only the goodness that plants need into the feeding system and keeps the stuf which could harm the plants out of the root system.

Full diagrams and how-to's coming soon.

Bell-Syphon

A Bell-Syphon is simply a syphon that can start and stop itself in response to changing water levels. They are used to control the Flood and Drain cycles in a growbed.

Cambodia

With the increased awareness last year and with the help of the Shamballa School of esoteric sciences and Grotec UK Ltd we were able to reach the target of $20,000 US to build and open a school in Cambodia.

We managed to complete fundraising to build a school in Cambodia with the help of The Healing Family we raised the required 20,000 US dollars, the world bank matched it with around $50.000.

The locals will get a 5 roomed school with solar power and sat internet and a teacher for 12 months and a self sustainable aquaponics garden as well.

In rural Cambodia, hundreds of villages still lack a functional primary and secondary school. AAfC's Rural Schools Project, founded in 1999, has led the effort to construct over 300 primary and lower secondary schools – with matching funds from the World Bank and Asian Development Bank – to help promote education in rural Cambodia. After construction, each school is sponsored by a donor to provide value-add improvements to further strengthen student education, such as English/computer teachers, Internet, and access to clean water.

The school

The school will be equipped with three solar panels, sufficient to provide enough energy to operate a computer for four- five hours a day. The village children will be taught to use computers with the view of providing them skills that can assist villages in benefiting from services and knowledge available in more populated areas. A Aquaponic garden will be set up in the grounds, providing food for the children and a teaching platform for them to take the ideas to other villages. It is also aimed at establishing telemedicine services and making it possible for village children to connect by e- mail to other children in Cambodia and around the world.

After receiving the donation, a school site is chosen and will be completed in three to eight months, depending on distance from the capital and the season.

Many donors are average people who believe that bringing education to rual children will ensure a more peaceful and bright future in Cambodia, whose population underwent so much trauma during the Khmer Rouge regime when schools stopped functioning. A priority of this project is to establish schools in poor, rural areas whose children have been deprived from any educational facilities or been forced to learn outdoors for lack of funds to construct schoolhouses. The campaign bears the catchphrase: "Put a Roof on Their Head."

All new schools are equipped with a well to give students access to water at the school. However, many wells dry up or break within the first three years of use. Donors can fund an additional well for $1,800. This water is often not suitable for drinking, and an additional water filter is recommended to provide clean drinking water.
