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 4: Belo Sur Mer

The 4 hr journey to Belo Sur Mer wasn't the easiest and involved 2 river crossings in our fleet of 9 4x4s. 

The journey to the coral islands was enjoyed by all. Some swum in the azure waters, some sun bathed, while others in the group collected shells of all shapes, colours and sizes from the beach, recently designated a national park. 

Grace's birthday celebrations involved the Malagasy version of One Direction teaching us how to dance follow-the-leader style in circles on the beach as the sun slipped below the horizon.

    If you travel around America you see different sections of highways donated by this or that person, and that's a slow beginning of what may end up being a situation common in the Third World: some sections of highways in wealthy areas are beautifully maintained and other parts are just dirt-strewn potholes.
