MadagascarConnect introduces local students to the environment, economy, culture and people of Madagascar. Students examine local and global issues as they prepare for a biennial trip to the country. While there, they engage with community-based organizations and leaders, teach rudimentary English to artisan-vendors, participate in a reforestation project and connect with local children through dance and games.

Zara Aina, which means "share life" in Malagasy, helps children in Madagascar harness the transformative power of theatrical storytelling and performance to expand their capacity for achievement, invest in their sense of possibility, and recognize their potential

This exhibition, on view in Starr Library between March 10th and April 29th, allows students to share their experiences with the community, raising awareness and building cultural connections through photographs, objects, video, music & stories.
