Latest news on Eco-Lodge funding

The Andavadoaka Eco-Lodge has continued to be a site used for camping trips and excursions throughout 2007 and 2008. Visitors have contributed a small but significant income for the village of Andavadoaka and the fund has enabled the community to invest in local infrastructure and support needy students with scholarships to attend the local Catholic Mission school. In October 2008 Blue Ventures (www.blueventures.org) will make a donation to the community fund of $20,000 that will finance the construction of the Eco-Lodge restaurant, kitchen, community meeting hall and Eco-Lodge utilities. The fund is seeking further funding from donors to finance the construction of the tourist bungalows. Your donation can help make the plans to finish the lodge in 2008 a reality.
