When David Sasaki (from Rising Voices) forwarded us Lindsay Radifer’s message when she asked about the Introduction to Media Citizen Malagasy version , we knew we had to convince her and her group of students to join us on our Blog Club team.
When Poupoune our lead blogger from Tamatave told us she was planning a trip to Mahajanga this week, we knew this meeting will help to extend our (already) very dynamic and promising Media Citizen network.
When Merina speaking Betsimisaraka meet Sakalava speaking American, you just wish they liveblogged it !!
Mahajanga , or Majunga (on the north west coast) is the second most important seaport after Toamasina. The capitale of Boeny region is located on the embouchure of Betsiboka river and is one of Madagascar’s most beautiful touristical destination. There is a strong oriental heritage in Mahajanga. You can see it in its architecture from Mosqueas, bazaars and colourful colonial residences. Economically the town depends on the sealines between East African main cities (Dar es Salaam, Mombasa and Zanzibar) and the Comoros island, but culturally Mahajanga has learned to keep its daring originalities.
