My new placement is with Akany Avoko, 45 minutes north of Tana. It's a children's centre for approx 140 kids and teenage girls awaiting decisons by the court on their various family situations. It's gorgeous here, such a nice atmosphere. Volunteers live on site in one of the buildings, it feels like it's own little village. This week is induction, so I've been hanging out with the babies and little kids, just getting a feel for the place.
Ambohidratrimo is more suburban than Ambatolampy. I haven't seen a zebu cart here, although in a village halfway between here and Tana, zebu seem to take themselves for walks down the main street. The market is very civilised and they are used to vahaza here as there are often volunteers at the centre.
I will be teaching English and music and my schedule for next week is looking pretty chockers, looking forward to being ultra busy! http://www.akanyavoko.com/
