Akany Avoko Children's Home is just a 15-20 minute bus ride from our home. There are 100 troubled and orphaned children who live here. They have their own school and a training program for teens which teaches them skills (sewing, handicrafts, etc) so that they can enter Malagasy society at age 18. It's a wonderful place to visit and they are eager to have volunteers. I (Sarah) and one of my Malagasy colleagues from school may start volunteering there soon. Right now there are 14 babies living here. Can you imagine? That's 14 cribs in one room. They are so adorable, but I'm glad I'm not on staff in that room during the night.
