These are scenes of life in Mantasoa. I have been living and working in this community since arriving in Madagascar. It is also home to the Peace Corps Training Center (PCTC), where a large portion of my training has taken place.
On the final night of living with my host family and I made mini hamburgers for dinner
My bedroom in my host family’s house
The old house of Jean LaBorde, former French magistrate of southern Madagascar during the early part of colonization
Me with two of my host sisters and a couple of their cousins
Commune of Mantasoa, equivalent to a town hall and community meeting space
Lake Mantasoa, where the PCTC and other vacation resorts are located
Buying snacks in an épicerie, equivalent to a convenience store
