Hi Tessa,

sorry, I was traveling… regarding your question, I gest you want to know if there are any big entreprise that put a decent salary into malagasy hands. It depends, as everywhere, on the education’s level of workers. And obviously, as most of Ilakaka’s workers are iliterate, most of them are not well payed like basic laborers. The problem there as in Latin-America, is that its population are not properly educated to manage and profite well their natural richness. In this way, the foreigner entreprises end up negotiating with the govenrment to whom belong each bit of the cake.

Hi - Do you know of any mines / operations that put a higher percentage of the money into the hands of the Malagasy people? Thanks!

That’s thrue Nick, Madagascar c’est un grand paradise pour les photographes!… thanks for your comments, I was sleeping at the Saltelite Hotel, made in wood… and well… Ilakaka still was for me one of the human communities more particular I had ever seen… very stimulating, very weird at the same time…

take care

Hi Victor
Some nice pics! I had the privilege to visit Madagascar 3 years ago, and I love the place. Stayed on Ile Aux Nattes for 2 weeks. My brother owns a hotel there(La Petite Traversee)
Madagascar is a photographers paradise!
