Here's all four years of Zara Aina's Youth Company, together with our Malagasy staff, on our trip to the zoo. What a gorgeous group of human beings. #company #ensemble #family #community #togetherness #zoo #fieldtrip #nonprofit #madagascar #nyc #sharelife #zaraaina

The ZA warmup @ the prison in Madagascar. We asked the young detainees if their theater work had made an impact. 1 boy said he hadn't thought he'd realize his dream of being a singer until his release in 2025, but it was coming true w/ ZA. #dreams #outreach #sharelife #zaraaina

Over the next yr, 18 4th Yr students will go to high school or train in a vocation. At the end of the yr, they can get a job. Instead of studying a character in a play, they will study the "character" of a mechanic, seamstress, or teacher. GO FORTH, beautiful souls!

It's training time! Last wk we held our 1st of 2 spring trainings in our pedagogy + curriculum for new + veteran volunteers. These guys devised their own little story + show in 3 days! Stay tuned, bc we'll be embarking on our spring U.S. outreach trips very soon!

Inspiring things at our Center in Mada! Our amazing staff bringing in guest artists, incl Rajery, a famous musician, who talked to the kids about preserving their culture, + Mario Gizavo, a famous bass guitarist, who talked about being a pro artist + pursuing your dreams!

Not only have our kids in Madagascar been exposed to guest musical artists recently, but to dancing guests as well! Malagasy traditional dancers shared their skills with our students, and they had an amazing yoga session with practitioner Raja Sabra. What fun!
