Day 9 of our Madagascar trip:
A couple of days ago we went to the orphanage. Looking around we saw that some matresses had to be changed (they were torn, broken and dirty). So today we went to buy some new ones and brought them to the kids.
Here some pictures…
Still day 7 of our Madagascar trip:
In the evening we went back to the orphanage, where we gave lessons to the children. Today’s classes consisted of basic maths for the young kids as well as English vocabulary and conjunctions.
The kids were very motivated and concentrated. It was great fun teaching them!

Still day 6 of our Madagascar trip:
In the afternoon we welcomed a group of handicapped people on our clinic’s site. Each one tried out different walking aids or wheelchairs and were then given the one that they felt most comfortable with.
Some of them came with wheelchairs that were broken but could be repaired. So we kept them to repair and can hopefully return them soon as good as new.
Here photos of today’s distribution:
