Meeting with AiNA soa team

I would like to thank the lovely AiNA soa team in Madagascar for all the inspiration and shared moments. The AiNA soa team is lovely and takes care of everything. They welcome you from the heart and integrate you wonderfully and show the best hospitality you can’t even imagine.

I am happy that I was able to support the valuable work with the following impulses that correspond to my profession: Human and children’s rights, dealing with alcoholism and addiction, installing a feedback culture and first aid courses for children. To round off my stay here, on my last day we had a great day with a team-building event in a village about 13 km from the office. There we focused on AiNA soa’s values and discussed where the team already takes them into account well and where they want to implement them even better. After all these wonderful days, I will particularly miss the AiNA soa team.

Meeting Malagasy people and their beautiful country

The heartfelt culture of AiNA soa is visible in many other places in the country. I found the Madagascans to be cheerful and open. They always helped me in a friendly manner and radiated a great sense of calm.

I was also amazed by the beautiful landscapes and the impressive flora and fauna in Madagascar. The lemurs, birds and plants are simply amazing.

It is worth visiting this country and my clear recommendation is to combine it with a volunteer placement with AiNA soa. This will give your stay a special added value – inspire you and make you feel good.

Poem by Claudia

So great quality – in just to be
I guess this I was supposed to see
Down there in lovely Madagascar
What unfortunately is really far

Being helpful, serving each other
Treating everybody like a brother
Lemurs, litchis, other great Flora and Fauna
Not to forget the sky full of star

Taxi Brousse on partly harmful streets
Just be sure that it always leads you
To meet the amazing mentality
Shown in very different personality!

Even more impressive than the lemurs
seeing lived this life course!
Thanks to my dear Malagasy friends
for all great Moments that we spent!
