 IN MEMORY OF TELL AND KELY

 In 2014  and in 2015  five of our children died of Malaria.  Two of them, Tell and Kely, particapted in our nature center program in Madagascar. Thousands more  children worldwide  die from this and other 100% treatable diseases every year...  we can change this.

Please JOIN me this Fall to create one of the first Nature Education Centers in Madagascar to teach about Conservation of Nature and Healthy Living  to reduce disease and help children and families live a healthy sustainble life and prevent the death children in impoverished villages.
