Back in 2010, my cousin and I decided to do some volunteer work in Madagascar. The program’s primary initiative was to protect the lemurs, endemic to Madagascar and second, protecting their habitat. We stayed mainly in Antananarivo and south at Port Dauphin. It was an amazing experience, no electricity, on a diet of rice and beans, meeting the wonderful people of Madagascar, learning the language and enjoying the beautiful nature. There were so many kinds of insects, plants and animals you wouldn’t find anywhere else except in Madagascar. Along with being able to pitch your own tent and washing the communal dishes, this is an experience I recommend doing at least once in a life time.
