The Madagascar 2012 Expedition will follow 14 years of world travel and community projects organised by The Coopers' Company and Coborn School. In 2012 a group of 34 year 12 and 13 students will spend one month in Madagascar, with the aim of completing the building of a secondary school block in the Merina village of Andranosoa. Pupils will also spend time experiencing the vulnerable wildlife, people and landscapes of what is a unique country by travelling to the west coast via a 3 day canoe journey along the Tsiribihina river, visiting the Tsingy de Bemaraha, Kirindy Forest and the Avenue de Baobab. As a team, we are hoping to raise £20,000 to cover costs for the charity project. The aim of this blog is to provide information about Madagascar, the team and the fund-raising project. Please visit the pages shown on the right to learn more about the expedition.

Week 2: Tsiribihina river

Pupils spent over 3 days paddling down the windy river camping on the large sand banks on the side. 


Camp one saw a cloudless night with the Milky Way stretching right over the camp. 

Morning Exercise included kick ups with the river guides. 


A rarely visited waterfall meant a welcome swim and shower for the group.

    I've always been a big fan of time travel, and I'm very into the notion that some day we'll be able to do it. Beam me up!
