Who are we?

Vakoka Vakiteny is a group of young and idealistic authors and illustrators who want to contribute to change. Our vision is that every Malagasy child should own his/ her own books and learn to read in their mother tongue.

We want to encourage young Malagasy talents to publish their ideas as books through Vakoka Vakiteny and fill homes and schools with them. For more information about us, please look at our web page
http://www.vakiteny.org/About%20us.htm.

Currently we are three fix coworkers in the company:

Andriamparany Rakotondrainy, manager, 30 years old, profession: teacher and project coordinator

Tojosoa Raherinirainy, designer and illustrator, 22 years old, student

Sophie Küspert-Rakotondrainy, assistant, 22 years old, student

And these are also our coworkers providing us with ideas and inspiration for our work. They show cheerfulness and joy even in a very difficult life situation. And they are the reason for the work of Vakoka Vakiteny: They are the children of Madagascar!

We have an association working for us in Germany called "Madagaskar Schul- und Kinderbücher e.V.". For all questions concerning membership, etc. please contact Dr. Klaus-Christian Küspert on kuspert@smbara.org or see his blog: http://klaus-christian.blogspot.com/.
