Happy New Year everyone!
We hope you had a good start to 2021.
We are waking up from the most unusual year we ever had as a lodge.
After a year of no flights, no tourism, no income we still exist and that is amazing!
★ We managed to keep 20 staff employed during this year who have looked after the lodge.
★ With your help we supported 60 families with food donations from May until now and intend to do so until travel resumes.
★ We have trained some of our staff as forest rangers to protect our rainforest from illegal hunting and logging.
★ We re-opened our Kindergarten and re-employed our teachers when the countrywide school opening was announced in October.
★ We even managed to do some exciting upgrades to the lodge that we will still share with you.
★ Our Malagasy team held together solidly, despite the situation, and are in good spirits!✌️#moramora
We are overall satisfied with how we have handled the challenging year of 2020.
Now we are hoping that 2021 will be the year for the new beginning in which we can welcome guests again.
Until then we learn from the Malagasy – keep calm and patient and make the best of the extra time that is given to us.
We wish you all health and happiness for 2021
Pierre and Maria
