We look forward to resuming the original programming once it is safe to do so. Stay home. Stay safe.

Thank you for being a part of our team of supporters that are making our project a reality. We have been working hard to finish the renovation of this historical landmark to host our activities. You can see how long the journey has been. Since the end of the December the raining has been pouring. Hence we had to take a major decision to postpone all construction project including the renovation of our training center.

Dear donor,
As mentioned in our September report, we are thrilled to show you the final version of the balcony of our training center. This means:
We have realized that we carried out the routine of delivering our programs from one region to another without truly knowing who our beneficiaries are. We have implied that we have enough information about them based on excel sheets and few quantitative data retrieved from surveys and interviews. We have been busy with a multitude of activities. Leading us to lost perspective of whom we are serving.
One of the reasons, we are so grateful to each one of you for contribution. We are halfway to reach our goal. Your support not only helps ensure that we can continue to positively influence ignored labor pools of young adults to serve Madagascar hospitality and tourism industry, but also signifies the preservation of the architectural ensemble of the Old Town Fianarantsoa. Thank you for being a part of our team of supporters that are making our project a reality. We have been working hard to finish the renovation of this historical landmark to host our activities. You can see how long the journey has been.
We look forward to delivering you more news including the final version of the renovation once ready. Stay tuned! Until then, please see here after a short summary of our upcoming actions:
