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.

Mr Cornish in Madagascar

I am flying home to the UK today after a very successful visit to the South West of Madagascar.
Due to a lack of internet connection, I have been unable to update the website, but over the Easter weekend I will make sure that all of the photos, information and a draft itinerary are posted. I am just finishing off two videos of the project visit and so they will go online in the next few days too.

Here are just some of the photos from the last few days to whet your appetite. Click on the photos for a larger view.

Hopefully our final destination- the Ecolodge at Belo Sur Mer

An excursion to a nearby island from the Ecolodge.

Snorkeling, whale watching and fishing excursions are possibilities at Belo.
