In April (yes, I am aware that it is July), a rabble of wildly enthusiastic volunteers descended upon my town for a week to help with a long planned map and cookstove project.
The primary goal of this project was the painting of a large map of Sahamalaza National Park and the Commune of Maromandia at the entrance of the commune building.
The vertical portion of the map depicts the National Park and the horizontal the Commune. Park boundaries, roads, rivers, and footpaths are all included.
"Call-out" boxes (I swear someone told me they are actually called that), highlight special environmental features of the park and surrouding area, such as endemic species, coral reefs, mangrove forests, etc.
Taking advantage of all the helping hands, the rabble of volunteers held a cookstove construction demonstration at the town EPP (elementary school).
Over a hundred students and teachers participated.
There was a lot of enthusiasm...
A lot of mud...
Teachers just adore fuel-efficient cookstoves.
And then more cookstoves a few days later with the Environmental Club.
Fun times were had by all!
