ANKARIHARY – LAKE OF SHAME

ENGLISH subtitles here on DoTSub

There is a lot place which are specific to Anatanarivo
One of them is Behoririka also called Chinatown
This is a very crowded place because you can find
goods for eveyday life and affordable to everyone
You can also buy foods from ambulant vendors
and they assure you that they’re using all the safest way to cook keep them
But what we know from Behoririka is its lake
or what looks more like a puond of dirty waters
People from Antananarivo are used to its smell
and some keeps throwing their garbage in front of everyone
This is also a location for leisure and playground for the kids
But fishing is forbidden and everyone is amazed
of the abundance of fishes
Only few seem to worry about the shame this lake is
and its threats to health and hygiene
I personally think that places like these ones can be avoided
With all the efforts they put on cleaning the capitale
I never saw improvements in Behoririka
I think there is no harm on doing so

“DOMINIQUE THE STREET KID”

ENGLISH subtitles here on DoTSub

His name is Dominique one of the many Malagasy kids who live in poverty
and his life is very different from ours
He is 14 today
As we can see on the video he is a beggar
He lives in Anosizato with his mother and little sisters and brothers
He only comes to Analakely where he can find
business men and tourists,
so this is why he always goes downtown
We have nothing, he said
this is why I have to beg
When I receive money it goes to food
“I receive less than 1000 Ariary per day” admits Dominique
If you convert in foreign currency
He only earns 0.5 dollars everyday
This young boy started begging on the street since he was 9
He went to school long ago but has to leave in T3 (4th grade)
One of Dominique’s biggest dream ?
Going back to school …

FOKO a accueilli le 1 er Mars 2008 les associations du CPO de plusieurs lycées d’Antananarivo, leurs blogs respectifs seront mis à jour pour exposer les activités de ces jeunes pleins de ressources et de créativité. Nous profitons aussi pour annoncer leur participation au Concours International de Vidéo Humanitaire Film You Issue soutenu par Yahoo, MySpace, l’AFP et l’ONU (entre autres). Les gagnants seront récompensés par des stages dans ces organismes et surtout par la diffusion dans les grands médias de leurs vidéos. Nous avons déjà vu qu’ils étaient capables de beaucoup d’activisme, nous vous invitons à suivre le groupe dans la production de ces vidéos qui vont être bien évidemment exceptionnelles!
