Sand, sun and a 700 year old baobab bigger around than a blue whale; that's Mahajanga. And thanks to some gracious donors over 60 of the kids were treated to a wonderful vacation on its beaches last week. Fear not. The rest of the kids were not left behind at the home to cry themselves to sleep. Well, they were left behind, but only for bit. They are currently spending their own week basking in the tropical rays.
The vacation was more than just sand and swimming. The kids also enjoyed ice cream, dancing, coconuts, ferris wheels, a bit of shopping and, for goodness sakes, even pony rides. All in all, it was a warm and wonderful break from the cool central highlands around Tana.
There will be more photos to come when the second group returns, but for now please enjoy these.
