Looking for the sunlight in Madagascar

Where to start? I'm currently worn out from a much-too-long trek around my banking town looking for a company called Madasolleil. After asking for directions ten different times, baking in the sun, turning in circles and side-stepping all the cat-calling pous-pous drivers, I finally gave up. I decided to make a quick internet stop and then just get lunch, try to find it later.
Just as I was walking up to the internet cafe Alliance de Francaise I saw a white van with a small satellite on top and a big blue sign exclaiming "Madasolleil!" in bright yellow letters. I almost fell over. I found the proprietor reading a paper and chatted with her about a possible project in January. She said it sounded great. Now all I have to do is pay for it somehow.

My In-Service Training is coming up which means I'll get to spend some time with all of the Americans I came here with. Immediately afterwards is our Christmas break and I don't know where I'll be headed. Apparently a few of my fellow volunteers are planning the first "Dirty South" Christmas down towards Fort Dauphin and that sounds like a lot of fun. However, a lot of people are headed to Nosy Be, which is supposed to be tropical paradise, so I don't know what to do.

I'm getting to know my town a little bit better, I sent my mom a beautiful Malagasy tablecloth and it got to her with no problems, I thought I was broke and found out I was far from it and now I have work with the TV station to look forward to. My site partner has fallen in love with a gorgeous Malagasy man named Parany, (which translates to "The Last" which I think is infinitely cool) and has started an AIDS awareness club in the high school. Lots of good things are happening.
