Laura I think Azafady would like this Malagasy musician, Razia Said. Her website,http://www.raziasaid.com/standard/, is great - keep scrolling right to see lots of explanations, photos and videos (click on the little 'zebu' doodles to see some of the text), and her bio is pretty amazing. She sings about poverty and environme...ntal damage in Madagascar. I think her album is released later this month (or find it on Spotify now, http://open.spotify.com/album/5s5gtQSHKvOl0PXcuSEwEr). Great to see you in Cambridge on Thursday! :)

Azafady This programme the Pioneer camp is only 3km's from the Conservation Programme camp so on Saturday a few of us from the office took the opportunity to visit both groups of volunteers and had a fantastic walk through some of the mountains, rice fileds and forests that the volunteers work in.

Hi Nathalie, for flights from the UK the best place to start looking is with Kenya Airways from London to Antananarivo - then you will need an internal flight with Air Madagascar from Antananarivo to Tolagnaro where Azafady works. Other international flight companies are Air Mauritius, Air France or South African Airways.
Feel free to email me at sarah@azafady.org for more info!
