English is the third national language, after French and Malagasy. Lack of English reduces options to trade with other countries; by enhancing the English language in the country, we can bring indirect benefits to Madagascar's economy. Also considering how much Madagagascar relies on tourism and eco-tourism, the learning of English is vital to nature guides since it is the major international language. Since few teachers speak much English, it is difficult for the next generation to learn. Dodwell Trust volunteers help teachers in classes and hold English clubs in the community.
The Trust set up a radio project in the country some years ago with a network of collaborating radio stations. Volunteers can do radio shows, to further increase the spread of the English language. I plan on taking Beatles songs to play over the radio and discussing the lyrics.

With the assistance of the local Dodwell Trust volunteer co-ordinators, I hope to find the best way to spend the money I have fundraised in the community I will be working in. My initial idea is to use it to create or enhance sports facilities.
