By jogany • May 1st, 2008 • Category: FeaturesWith the tagline, FOKO wants to help Madagascar by bringing the world’s attention to Malagasy people. According to their website, “when often biodiversity and lemurs are in the spotlight, FOKO wants to focus on the Malagasy people and make them a crucial factor in their unique and threatened environment.” One of their strategies is the Foko Blog Club, which trains Malagasy citizens how to use citizen media to portray their daily realities and connect to the global conversation.
Thank you Lindsay :
WE can't thank her enough for all she has accomplished in Majunga and Tana. The kids love her so much and we can't describe Majunga fondness for her personality, warmth and hard work. Our post on RV should have something very expressing to help her find a new job somewhere people are looking for a very skilled and kind woman. interview en ligne here http://www.foko-madagascar.org/2008/04/27/podcasts-misaotranao-thank-you-lindsay-redifer/

Stéphane wrote that the last FBC with new bloggers will be on April 26th. A joint one again with Majunga and Toamasina. Karenichia and Patricia will be responsible of this edition but there won't be chatrooms for the M/car bloggers to keep them seriously working. Although the blogosphere will be online on the chatroom to talk about Lapino and Dadarabe's cyberfety and of course to discover the new blogs.
