| A ministerial visit is a good excuse to dress up and dance. |

A few weeks ago, the Minster of Population, Nadine RAMAROSON, came to Akany Avoko for a lovely visit. We swept the dirt, cleaned the floors and washed behind our ears for the official visit. She was greeted in the driveway by a long line of children waving pompoms.
Though the visit was brief, there was time for a few short speeches, some traditional dancing and a tour of the center. As a special treat, the Minister and entourage of body guards and assistants handed out candy, biscuits and soap to all the children. There were a few issues with the smaller children trying to wash down their candy by gnawing on the soap, but all in all it was a very nice visit.

| Be honest, soap and candy don't look that different. Soap just looks bigger and tastier. |
