Much of Madagascar is in desperate need of new and improved infrastructure to enable schools and communities to function more effectively. Volunteers on the Community Development project are involved in construction and renovation initiatives directly benefiting the local communities on Nosy Be and Nosy Komba. These initiatives will involve general maintenance work within the small village schools where our Teaching volunteers in Madagascar are placed, such as building ablution blocks or repairing roofs. In addition, there is also demand for assistance in carrying out various maintenance jobs at the Oceanographic Research Institute on Nosy Be.

Madagascar was a meaningful volunteer experience
January 23, 2019by: Emilee Miller - United StatesProgram: Volunteer in Community Development in Madagascar with IVHQMy time in Madagascar could be best described as educational and adventurous. I learned so much while also always actively participating in my projects (construction/community & teaching), camp fun, outings, etc. There was never a dull moment, though there were moments that needed to be approached with a mora mora (slowly) mindset. The other volunteers, the staff, the locals, and anyone else I might be forgetting -- they made this experience worthwhile and life-changing. I made some lifelong friends in the 4 weeks I was volunteering, and I think that is an amazing thing. Madagascar is a beautiful country with so much to see. Camp was always kept tidy and the food provided is really pretty good -- it may get a little repetitive, but there is nothing wrong with that, especially when you are feeding large amounts of people.
