Antsirabe

So today was the first day that we got to know the city of Antsirabe.  I must admit admit that firstly I was impressed by the poverty of the malgasyans here. Near our home (we’re still in the residence) a woman lives in a wood hut with her 6 daughters, the oldest one being 9 years old. Children beg in the streets and people look at you as if you were some strange creature because of the fact that you’re white and wear sunglasses.

However, people here are extremely nice. They are always smiling and they greet you back laughing when you tell them Bonjour! It makes you think on how come that we have arrived to this point and on how can be help these people.

God! I wanted to tell you more about it but the greatest storm on earth is about to begin! I have to take me things and look for shelter!! NOW!!!!

A couple of pictures of today! We really enjoyed the Trianon planning our classes for next week!
