As noted earlier on this blog (http://vakiteny.blogspot.com/2010/06/vakoka-vakiteny-in-cooperation-with.html) Vakoka Vakiteny was in contact with the Norwegian organization Grønn Hverdag in Stavanger already in June. Grønn Hverdag, which means “green living”, cooperates with schools and youth organizations in Madagascar. Together with these partners they will develop a manuscript concerning the environment in Madagascar.
This manuscript will be written by the children in the partner schools together with two facilitators, a Norwegian and a Malagasy author during a 10 days’ workshop in November. The Malagasy author will be Mparany from Vakoka Vakiteny.
This green book will contain whatever the children want to express about the environment, and will be a mixture of several writing styles, for example stories, fact texts, fairytales, poems, etc. The children will also paint pictures to the text.
Vakoka Vakiteny will put the texts and the pictures together, make the layout had have it printed in Antananarivo. It seems that the printing house will be able to use recycled paper for the pages inside the book, which will underline the environmental message. We will also distribute the books to the partner schools in the Antsirabe area when the printing is finished.
We in Vakoka Vakiteny look forward to this cooperation, and especially Mparany is very glad to be asked to contribute with his experience to help the children write the texts.
