Introduction

I am Gabonese (Gabon), living in South Africa and I am currently doing my (B-Tech degree)honours degree in Nature Conservation at Tshwane University of Technology. Because of my background in conservation, I was looking for one of the best company in conservation in order to have some experience. Fortunately I was in love with WWF and I had it in mind; therefore it was easy to get there.

After arriving in Tana on the 22 of April 2013, WWF offered me (all volunteers) classes for learning an African language that I have never thought about. This was to help us socialize with the new beautiful Malgach community.

After five days of learning the language we were taken around different provinces in order to discover the beauty of Madagascar that I heard about since I was young. This was fabulous ! at the end of the visit we were directed to Fandriana where our holidays were made perfect by the community and by the WWF staff members. Where we were involved in different activities, like play Basketball and soccer.

From Fandriana, we were taken to Andakana where we met wonderful people again who were patient with us when speaking the new language. There, the work of WWF was done through Environmental education, inventories of trees, nursery, reforestation and many other activities that we cannot numbered.
Because of the fact that we loved the community, we decided (Jeff & Richard)to teach different subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Biology, French and English to the kids from high school. And through this, WWf was more respected and appreciated by the community.
