I have also seen some really cool animals these last two weeks. … Read More

Blog by MBP Volunteer, Nina On one of our taxi brousse-rides back to KAFS from Mananjary (a coastal town about 2 hours from KAFS) early in March, Sara and I had some very unusual company for a good 45-minute stretch of the trip. The trip began as it usually does with the driver that we have befriended and always take because he used to work with one of MBP’s drivers. It’s a nice situation because … Read More

In Ambalahosy (the village closest to KAFS) a few months ago we heard a huge bang, and word quickly got around that there had been a taxi-brousse accident. On visiting the … Read More

Blog from MBP Volunteer, Sara Health Care in Madagascar… What a difference it is to be ill in a third world country. Yes, there are doctors here and yes, there is medicine that you can purchase. But it’s completely different then the healthcare you would receive in a first world country. First of all, the doctors are not always at the hospital. So if you are sick and the doctor is not in, that’s just … Read More
