Excellent Week!


We had an excellent week here in Toliara, teaching the women to teach others and then practising in various locations distributing kits.  We gave out kits in two different villages (Andranomena and Anketraka which are in the Cathedral Parish), in Santa Lioka Church, Ankilifaly (one of Rev. Noeli’s Churches), at Ambohimahavelo (one of Rev Theodore's Churches), Clinic St Luc and Ste Lucille School.

There are now a lot of women and girls in Madagascar singing “Happy birthday clean hands” in English!  It is the recommended Days for Girls’ teaching tool for the length of time it takes to wash one’s hands effectively.  At each line, one washes a different part of one’s hands.

On Saturday, we had time to review the making of some of the DfG kits and understand the changes in process that DfG have made in the last two years. 

On Sunday, we worshipped at Santa Filipo, Ambohitsabo - with a service led by two Bishops, two priests and two catechists, and various lay people.  




Now we are relaxing at Hotel de la Plage, Ambolimailaka, about an hour north up the coast from Toliara.  It is very beautiful and very peaceful.  







We have discovered that you get much more hot chocolate for breakfast than you do coffee! 



They also serve the best mint ice-cream I have ever had!  Very creamy and made with fresh spearmint.  I am hoping to have more with supper.
