HOW TO HELP

Education is one of the most important requisites for a better living standard as well as for sustainable conservation. MWC therefore implements environmental education in the public primary schools (EPP) of the region of Alaotra. The goal is to raise public sensitivity and appreciation for the importance of an intact lake and preserved marshes.

The basis of this education program is a comic book developed by MWC and realized by the Malagasy artist Ramafa. It is called „AROVY FA HARENA“ which means „Protect/preserve because it is richeness". The nine episodes tell the adventures of the village boy Fidy, the Bandro Malala and their friends.

Each episode addresses a specific conservation issue of the local ecoysytem and serves as a starting point for further actvities on the subject. The teachers are trained, informed in detail and supplied with supportive educational material by MWC.

In 2006 MWC has started to print and distribute copies of the comic and will gradually do so in the forthcoming years for all primary schools of the Alaotra region.
