My best friend and counterpart at
my old site in Vondrozo, Madagascar,
recently released his first music video.
The music is traditional Malagasy music played by him on a valiha (a
traditional Malagasy instrument). It has
been a dream of his to become a musician for as long as I have known him. This is the first of many music videos to
come. Enjoy the video!
A Malagasy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving brings to mind images
of giving thanks to what we have, a family reunion, eating entirely too much
food, and football. It is an American
holiday steeped in family traditions and recipes that have been passed down
from generation to generation. Away from
home and family, volunteers try to piece these traditions together with other volunteers
in their regions. This year I celebrated
Thanksgiving with volunteers in my new home in the north.
