Madagascar: School, Les Zigotos

Salute and snack
In Madagascar we went to a school called Les Zigotos. We brought them school supplies, installed the internet and helped the teachers. The school uniform  was orange except on Mondays when it was white top, red bottom, because they raised the flag. At the beginning of the day they have a small recess before lining up for a sort of salute. Afterwards they line up for a snack and go to class.

I learned about the industries of Madagascar including: Chocolaterie Robert, Savonnerie ( soap making ), and Star Brewing co. At 10:00am they have recess until 10:30am, then they have class again until 12:00pm when they  have a big recess and lunch ( and a movie on Friday ) until 2:00pm. The food is really good and made from scratch that day with local rice, meat, and vegetables I played some soccer which was played with a small bouncy ball and it came to blows. School ends at 4:00pm.

On Fridays from 10:30am to 12:00pm they have music and dancing. That day they finish at 3:30pm after cleaning. We taught them how to play tic-tac-toe, they taught me how to play the valiha ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valiha ).
