Quick Update: Made it to Washington DC, anxiety was super high this morning but doing much better now. I even took some time to visit a few Memorials in the Nation's Capital during a run in the 60 degree weather. I'm at staging with a large group about 30 people all Environmental Volunteers with the exception of a few working in a new small business development program. Just had my first anti-malarial pill (Metloquine), the side-affects are long...but the good news is I have access to a great Medical Team. All is well! Not sure when I'll be able to post next (I shouldn't have internet for at least three weeks)Best,

The hope is that this "blog" (I really dislike that word) will chronicle my adventures in Madagascar while serving as an Environmental Education Peace Corps Volunteer.
Whats Up?
- The views and opinions expressed on this Blog are mine alone and do not reflect the views or opinions of Peace Corps, Peace Corps Madagascar, or my counterpart organization (ONG Azafady)
- Apologies for spelling/grammar, but the following is what happens when you stick a dyslexic on a computer with a French keyboard and strict time restraints. : ) I hope it makes sense…. Enjoy!
- If you have sent me emails-I DO READ THEM and I'm sorry for not responding to many. The internet is slow and expensive. Time is $.
- Sorry for not getting any picutres up. I have not been to load any.
Address during Service
- New Mailing Address. (the Tana address still works, but this one is quicker or should be...)
- Brendan Ward, PCV St. Luce
- ONG Azafady
- Valle Marshall, Ampotatra
- B.P. 318, Tolagnaro 614
- Madagascar
- Include "Airmail" and "Par Avion" on envelopes. Its going to take 2-3 weeks, packages 5-6 weeks.
Got Direction?

Is this what Madagascar is like?

Interesting..
- Astronauts have noted that from space the island of Madagascar appears to be bleeding. The red ring of water around the island is caused by the erosion of soil nutrients due to severe deforestation and the practice of slash and burn agriculture.
- In 1985 Coca-Cola Co. switched its secret formula to “New Coke” which required less vanilla, putting a large stress on Madagascar’s economy (vanilla is a major export). Coca-Cola Co. returned to using vanilla as a major ingredient when they introduced “Coke Classic.”
