    The past few days in Antananarivo, Madagascar have been overwhelming, intense and eye-opening. And I apologize for the delays in posting these videos -- it's been nearly impossible to find decent enough wifi.
    Madagascar, as a whole, is a beautiful tropical island with stunning greenery, giant baobab trees and unique wildlife (like lemurs!). It's also massive -- about twice the size of my home state of Arizona -- floating 250 miles off the southeastern part of mainland Africa.
    But putting the natural beauty aside, Madagascar is one of the World's poorest countries, with the 5th lowest GDP per capita. Walking on the streets of Antananarivo, I couldn't help but observe and analyze what I was seeing --- people just barely managing to survive, working labor-intensive jobs with very little pay.
    My new local friends and I took a mini road trip to some outer villages, where I learned about the daily life of people working in the markets. Here's what I discovered.
    If there's any takeaway from today (and through travel in general) -- it is to appreciate the life I live. If you are reading this as well, consider yourself lucky because you have internet, which most of the people in Madagascar cannot afford.

    I live here in Madagascar and I think you really made a good analysis on the causes poverty of Madagascar. The kinda isolation from the rest of the world and also all the political issues (In short, politicians here really dont' care about the people, it's more about them wanting to increase their personnal wealth without even trying to manage the country properly, and 'I'm not even exagerating, it's really like that, corruption is everywhere.). The meteoroligical condition is not really the problem here because if it's managed properly, we should be able to prevent its damage because we kinda know where are the area that are frequently touched. But sadly, again, the gorvernment doesn't really give a damn about that. I do hope though, that my country will one day be able to be successful because it's full of talents and incredible natural ressources. If us, the young generation start to do small change in the good way, i think we can hope for a better future

      Simply lending them money will increase inflation & drive up the prices.
      Since they don't earn that much they'll be dependent on your charity and once it stops they literally will not be afford to anything and everything will be back to square 1

      Countries that have a british council that's usually the best place to start in my opinion. If there is no british council then any other english language school or a university as last resort. Luckily I speak German too and found it's nearly impossible to find a country that lacks both a British Council and Goethe Institut. For example Madagascar has no British Council, but it has a Goethe Institut.

    Hi, Drew. I appreciate your video and showing the poverty in Mada. But I'd have liked that you did mention both the sides.
    While the majority of the population is impoverished, a very good number is well- educated, earns really well and has lived in France or has immediate family there. This side of the population shops in expensive malls even for their daily groceries which is imported from other African countries, France, etc. To mention rent in the capital city is also extortionate. The developed portions are of international standard, built mostly to suit the American and European lifestyle. That's also because plenty of Europeans move there for the better jobs that go to them over the locals. A lot of the poverty and misery is of course from corrupt politics. Can say all this with my experience of living in Mada for a better part of the year. Love, from India

    Great vid Man, you have such courage to go deep and experiment the struggling day-to-day life of my people. However I wish you'll explore more of my beautiful country, there's unique wonders beyond this relative poverty too :)
