We have successfully deployed 15 XOs to Maroantsetra, Madagascar.  At the moment the XOs are being carried each day from location to location servicing 4 schools and a library.  On the ground we have a retired Malagasy school teacher and a American university student working with us. The class sizes are huge, about 70 per classroom so we are fund raising and looking for ways to gather up more used XOs.  If anyone has an XO they wish to donate to us, the children of Maroansetra will be very happy.

Hi June

Not overly relevant to your post, but we were on the verge of building a challenge ropes course in Madagascar about 12 months ago, but there was a change in Government and all negotiations ceased.  Has the Government there been stable for the last 12 months?
