Welcome, Michael -

I am a friend of Sarah Dees and she told me how highly she thinks of you and your work with the Boys and Girls Club. It is a pleasure to see you here on Brand Tampa.

I am an artist and writer, and I have been volunteering with various nonprofit organizations since I was a teenager; everything from The American Cetacean Society (save the whales) to The Spring of Tampa Bay. I am currently part of a fundraising group for Santa's Angels, under the auspices of Divine Charities, Inc., raising money to provide underprivileged Pinellas County kids with Christmas toys, clothing and dinner - where there are multiple children in a household, we adopt the entire family.

I am also doing some volunteer work with Morning Star Fishermen, in San Antonio, FL, who teach aquaponics to villagers and missionaries from third worlds countries in order to teach them to grow organic fish and vegetables to feed their communities. They started in Largo, where I live, and have set up teaching facilities in Haiti and Jamaica; they are currently setting up a third teaching facility in Nicaragua.

Aquaponics brings together the fields of aquaculture (raising fish and freshwater and marine creatures) and hydroponics (raising plants without soil). When the two disciplines are combined, it eliminates a number of inherent problems, and both the fish and the plants thrive. I am an avid organic gardener, and am both raising plants for them at my home, and volunteering my time at their facility.

I am also in the beginning stages of starting an aquaponics business myself, which will promote aquaponics on a smaller scale, as I am working on a prototype system to allow the average person with as little as an available 16 square feet (or even less, if necessary) to provide their own organic fish and vegetables in an average apartment, condo or small home. I will also be completing a permaculture course, and will be able to design systems for larger homes or in specialty situations, such as high-end restaurants. My hope is to ultimately have a for-profit business with a nonprofit arm, and use the profits to donate systems to families coming out of homeless and domestic violence shelters, to assist them in providing higher-quality food for their families than is generally available at the grocery store, and entirely free of chemicals or other contaminants. My view is that it can be a wonderful family project, and teach kids the basics of self-sufficiency, and possibly even lead to a green career in their future.

My very basic (so far) website is at www.keyspoet.com.

I wish you and your family all the best!

Peace and Blessings,
Cori
