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.

Cyclone Bingiza Makes Landfall in NE Madagascar

Currently a category 3 cyclone. Land fall over the Masoala Peninsular on the Eastern Coast.


Thankfully the storm season finishes in May so we won't be affected by the cyclones that hit most frequently between December and April. It looks like it will bring a lot of wet weather to the west coast- making it by road up to the Tsingy for a recce in April looks increasingly challenging.
