Program to Save the Old City of Fianarantsoa http://www.madagascarvieilleville.info Mon, 21 Jun 2010 12:31:05 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Small Grant Received From German Embassy http://www.madagascarvieilleville.info/?p=330&language=en http://www.madagascarvieilleville.info/?p=330&language=en#comments Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:35:48 +0000 admin http://www.madagascarvieilleville.info/?p=330 We received a small grant from the German Embassy that allowed us to rehabilitate the Fokontany (neighborhood) office. The leaking sheet metal roof was reconstructed and tiled; local craftsmen redesigned the balcony to make it coherent with the architecture of the site. The results have energized community leadership and encouraged their interest in preserving the architecture of the site.
