  • Llévame a Farafangana
    LLÉVAME A FARAFAN GAN A JOSÉ MANUEL DEVESA LLÉVAME A FARAFANGANA LLÉVAME A FARAFANGANA José Manuel Devesa Título original: Llévame a Farafangana © Autor: José Manuel Devesa (2012) Ilustración de portada: Enrique Ventura Queda terminantemente prohibida cualquier forma de reproducción total o parcial de esta obra sin el consentimiento escrito de los titulares de los derechos de explotación A las mujeres del mundo, muchas casi niñas aún, que padecen la herida innombrable, y especialmente a las de Madagascar, a las que operé, porque me permitieron aprender de la enfermedad y de la vida y a las que aún no, para pedirles que esperen pacientemente su turno, que algún día les llegará. JOSÉ MANUEL DEVESA Yo quisiera morir cuando ya tenga Mi sangre en otras sangres derramadas Y ya en mi corazón sea semilla Que florezca su flor en otra rama José Luis Hidalgo (Del poema Los Hijos) Mapa esquemático de la isla de Madagascar donde se señalan los lugares en los que se desarrolla la novela “Llévame a Farafangana” Llévame a Farafangana PRÓLOGO —Doctor, ¿por qué decidió ir a África? —Porque soy médico…, y sé que África se está muriendo. Esta sencilla pregunta, que se lee en uno de los pasajes de este relato, y su contundente respuesta, contienen el principio filosófico esencial que inspira la novela “Llévame a Farafangana”, magistralmente escrita desde el dolor, la emoción y la experiencia fascinante de un cirujano que, año tras año, deja lo mejor de sí mismo para llevar un hálito de esperanza y un soplo de salud a unos seres olvidados y desheredados de la Fortuna, en el extremo suroriental de la cuarta isla más grande del Planeta: Madagascar, que se aferran por sobrevivir a una vida miserable, exenta de esperanza.

  • MADAGASCAR CYCLONE GRETELLE (Appeal 03/97)
    MADAGASCAR: CYCLONE GRETELLE appeal no. 03/97 sitrep no. 1 for the period: 1 April to 15 May 1997 23 May 1997 The Context Cyclone Gretelle swept through south eastern Madagascar on 24 and 25 January 1997, affecting approximately half a million persons, 42,000 of whom are among the most vulnerable in the mountain area of Midongy and Befotaka districts. Roads and bridges were washed out, preventing access by land to these districts. Based on preliminary estimates by Care International, work to open up these zones will not be completed before July 1997. Food is the major problem. The inhabitants could not harvest their crops in March as they were under water and partly destroyed. Other crops such as coffee, cassava and breadfruit tree which traditionally generated additional income and assured the tide-over between the two crops have also been partially destroyed. The Malagasy Red Cross asked the Federation to launch an appeal for CHF 885,000 to assist 42,000 of the most vulnerable persons in Befotaka and Midongy districts. This initial appeal was increased to CHF 1,534,000 at the beginning of April in order to respond better to the victims' needs. Fifty per cent of the appeal has been covered mainly by the European Community via the French Red Cross and several National Red Cross Societies. Recent Events Flying donations to Midongy and Befotaka has in general not run into problems, but is quite expensive. During the first week of May the operation was interrupted due to poor weather conditions which prevented the Antonov 2 (the plane for the operation) from flying.

  • Medicinal Plants Used by Women from Agnalazaha Littoral Forest
    Razafindraibe et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine 2013, 9:73 http://www.ethnobiomed.com/content/9/1/73 JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Medicinal plants used by women from Agnalazaha littoral forest (Southeastern Madagascar) Mendrika Razafindraibe1*, Alyse R Kuhlman3, Harison Rabarison1, Vonjison Rakotoarimanana1, Charlotte Rajeriarison1, Nivo Rakotoarivelo1,2, Tabita Randrianarivony1,2, Fortunat Rakotoarivony2, Reza Ludovic2, Armand Randrianasolo3 and Rainer W Bussmann3 Abstract Background: The country of Madagascar is renowned for its high level of biodiversity and endemism, as well as the overwhelming pressures and threats placed on the natural resources by a growing population and climate change. Traditional medicine plays an important role in the daily lives of the Malagasy for various reasons including limited access to healthcare, limited markets and traditional values. The objective of this study was to assess the modern utitilization of the Agnalazaha Forest by the local population in Mahabo-Mananivo, Madagascar, for medicinal plants used by women, and to establish a list of medicinal plants used by women sourced from Agnalazaha Forest. Methods: Ethnobotanical studies were conducted over a period of five months in 2010 to determine the diversity of medicinal plants used by women in the commune of Mahabo-Mananivo. In all, 498 people were interviewed, both male and female ranging age from 15 to over 60 years old. Results: 152 medicinal plants used by local people were collected during the ethnobotanical studies. Among the recorded species, eight native species are widely used by women. These species are known for their therapeutic properties in treating placental apposition and complications during childbirth as well as tropical illnesses such as malaria, filariasis, and sexual diseases like gonorrhea and syphilis.
