  response to  Rudy Adler's post Project 004

  Ankizy Malagasy (Malagasy Kids)

  When I saw the notice of this project I immediately thought of Mme. Lucette and the 25 kids that took part in the lunch program that I started as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Madagascar. Alison, The current volunteer is trying to keep the lunch program going, but a recent string of destructive cyclones has made it tough for anyone to help anyone else out. Mme. Lucette is a gutsy woman in her early 30's who, in addition to caring for her own children and step children, has generously donated her time, energy and home to providing lunch 5 days a week to 25 kids who may not get another full meal.

  The ideal care package would include: small luxuries for Lucette such as nail polish, nice smelling soaps and uniball pens (she works as a secretary and loved my american pens)

  items for the kids such as toothbrushes, notebooks, pencils and art supplies

  Items for the community library such as childrens books, french-english dictionaries, books in French, maps,and those double-sided adhesive foam squares for mounting posters on the wall (they are the only thing that seem to stick to dirt walls).

  I am sure the current volunteer would also appreciate some words of encouragement, a copy of Good, some snickers bars and a trashy novel.

  If anyone wants to support the lunch program by contributing to the rice purchasing fund, please let me know!

  Lucette's address is:
