500 USD per week, damn that is good pay

I think that's for all of them combined, as a business. But, yeah, it's still good - relatively.

Local charities always have the best impact, because they know the projects that can have the most effect for the smallest dollars. This takes the classic "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." and puts it on steroids, but teaching them how to run a fishing business, where the whole village benefits. Great!

Stuff Red Cross - go local!

Nice story from arguably the bloodiest conflict the world has ever forgotten.

Agreed. However, if they're catching one ton of fish a week, the fish will be gone in no time.
