Mission to Madagascar: Students Serving the World as Global Citizens of Study Abroad
Description
The founders 3 founders of Camp Fihavanana met in 2015 on the Semester at Sea Spring 2015 voyage, and competed as a team for the Resolution Project Social Venture Challenge. Jessica Razanadrakoto recruited Laura Patterson and Sophie Connot to support her vision for transforming the lives of Malagasy youth through sports and leadership development.
Together, they created Camp Fihavanana — a summer camp program that would challenge traditional forms of education to equip students with the skills they need to become courageous leaders in their own communities. After winning seed funding and support, they launched the first Camp Fihavanana program in 2017.
