It is a shame that so many of the people live in such poverty. I saw the desperation of the young girls who sell themselves at the side of the road each night. I hope that we people who have not lived in such poverty, do not make moral judgements about these poor people's decisions on how to feed themselves. It is not a moral decision, it is an economic one. I am an American who has visited Madagascar & fell in love with the land & the people.
