Hi,

Im Fabia, a 20year old girl and I will be in Madagascar from March up to May 2013, so for three months. I wanted to know if someone has a contact to a school / kindergarden / hospital who takes volunteers or who knows any place where I can volunteer.

My second question is, because I dont want to work the whole time but also travel. Is there someone who would like to join me? who is in Madagascar during this time and dont want to travel alone?
Thank u and greetings

Akany Avoko is a good place to contact but I suggest you do so soon as their places for volunteers fill up quickly.

Hi, they aren't a school, kindergarten or hospital, but if you want to join a very good project running in South East Madagascar have a look at the work done by the NGO Azafady

Seconding Azafady. I volunteered with them. You can sign up for two up to ten weeks in increments of two, (you do have to pay, but it's not a lot compared to many volunteer programs). They have both conservation and construction/community building options, and I think they might have a teaching option now too. You may meet people during the program who want to travel also, that happened with me.

Hi

thanks a lot for the answers. I informed myself about azafady already but its so expensive to me..therefore i kicked it out. But maybe I can stay there than for only 2 weeks and hope that i will find a travelpartner there.. thank you

Hi Fabia, I completely understand, whatever you decide to do I am sure that you will love Madagascar, it is a fantastic country.
Good luck!
