True Adventures of Darcy Rae Jacoby: Peace Corps Madagascar. REPRESENTING THE FAR NORTHERN REGION OF MADAGASCAR AT THE 2016 NATIONAL GLOW . We did it...and we rocked it!! For the first time ever, 100 young women from 20 villages across Madagascar gathered for Peace Corps Madagascars National Gi*ls Leading Our World Camp. This was a huge project that took months of planning, preperation, and problem solving with our team of organizers, Volunteers, partner organizations, and participants. But when it happened, it didnt just happen.. it set a high standard for the National GLOW camps we hope to continue for years to come! In other words, it was a total success. Attending camp was a big and special opportunity for the students, who rarely have the means to travel outside of their villages or regions. For most of them, this was the first time to be in the capital city and experience the people and cultures from other areas of Madagascar! As they united, they were able to learn more about Madagascars diversity and beauty. Throughout the week, they also leanred about womens health and empowerment, building leadership, teamwork, and goal-setting skills, and how to pursue education and job opportunties. For many of them, camp was a life-changing experience! I love sharing Madagascars culture, people, and land with the rest of the world. During my first year of Peace Corps service, I was able to do this regularly with a few schools back in the States. I was connected with most of these schools already before Peace Corps, but I was matched with one in particular in Mas*achusetts through Peace Corps World Wise School program. I corresponded a few times with this school - specifically a second grade clas* - over email, and boy did they have some great questions about life in Madagascar! In fact, the questions were so good that I decided to turn our correspondence into its very own blog post. So here are some of the cool Malagasy life facts and aspects we discussed in four questions and answers!
