How the Inhabitants of Ale B Village Benefit From the Fish-Raising Program (Dak Lak)
A photo-story sheet (code SP-1649) reports that villagers of Buon Ale B in Darlac, shown in photographs netting and weighing fish, received harvests from a government fish-pond scheme, with up to 60 kg per household. It closes by urging villagers in every hamlet to dig fish ponds so they too can have fish to eat. The sheet shows only the programme's successes and no costs or failures.
