1000 hours; you will then proceed to Dunga fishing village, where you will meet the local fishermen and fishmongers. You will interact with fishermen to learn the secrets of their trade, which is their lifeline to sustainability.

The fish business has also contributed largely to the escalation of the HIV/ AIDS pandemic, apart from being a source of income.
