Summer 2009 in Madagascar
Program cancelled
It is with great regret that I inform you
of the following:
As you might be aware, there is political instability
in Madagascar. Over this past weekend, violence resulted
in the death and injury of several hundred Malagasy.
I have had ongoing contact with a Malagasy friend in the
government who has given me information that indicates
the situation is not likely to resolve itself in the near
future. In the best interest of the college, and our students,
I believe it is prudent to cancel the program scheduled
to take place during summer 2009.
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the students
whose interest prompted the creation of this program and
to my colleagues for their support of this venture.
It is my sincerest hope that we will be able to schedule
a trip to Madagascar in the future.
Thank you,
Janice Levy
