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.
