    What really disappointed me are the local autorities, like the actual mayor. Though responable for the development and well being of the villagers ,they do absolutely nothing to develop the village and commune. The Ranohira commune is actually fortunate to have a large and regular source of finance through the tourist tax on overnights stays in hotels and park fees but nobody seems to know how that money is used to develop the village...it just seems to disappear into a few peoples pockets. Apart from that the mayors office does not show any support and even blocks & sabotages associations that are there to develop and improve the life in the village and region. A visit of associations like "Soa Zara"; battling deforestation because of which the area is getting eroded and is drying up and "association Le Village", aiming healthcare and education (they have constructed the Ranohira hospital and teach environmental care) should be part of your visit to Ranohira. Both organisations are run by the owners of ITC Lodge. If you want to leave a positive influence of your stay in Madagascar sponsor and plant trees from the Soa Zara tree nursery and plant them on one of their the reforestation sites. It's associations like these that need your help to develop the commune and region!
