My Experience

This trip of volunteering really has opened my mind, It made me realise of how lucky I was in Europe, because some people in Madagascar do not have the same chances that we have in the occident countries. Doing actions that matters is very important for me, being in a solidarity and tolerance relationship with the local peoples is a really "healthy" thing. During this trip, I really crossed cultures, from Europe to Africa, and I really enjoyed more than when I went sightseeing in any country overseas. I also made a lot of new friends mostly issues from the volunteering program but not only, also from the local people, even tourists. At the moment as I set foot on Madagascar's ground, I started to feel concerned about people and pollution and the animal's extinction and right after I got involved in it.
I think this experience showed me that there is really a big problem with the environement. The government here prefere to build more hotel so more tourist can come so they have more money than protecting the fauna and flora of the island, almost every species here are in danger of extinction.
In the beginning, I just wanted to do this trip to discover the world, differents cultures and environment, but now that I saw what I saw, poverty, animal killing, pollution, I think I want to get involved even more, because I really want things to change, so I'm planninig to return to Madagascar or another country next year.
