This week Marie chats with Paul Lloyd about their recent trip to Madagascar on a Rotary International project. The aim was  to deliver aid to a very poor school in rural Madagascar. “We arrived in Anatarrivo, the capital, as street demonstrations broke out and we had an eventful time  getting to our hotel. We spent three days under curfew before being able to fly south to Port Dauphin to start the project.  We eventually reached the school in Ambovombe where we found quite extreme poverty. The classes were very large, around 100 students, toilets clearly a health hazard and other facilities really poor. “We will discuss the needs and what we were able to achieve and hope to do in the future.”
