Here is my article.  I will write it here.

Second, to Madagascar where most of the people still live primitive lives in bush villages.  One friend described life there this way: “80% of people are so isolated, living up in the mountains or deep in the bush, that they have no access to basic healthcare services. The sadness in the villages is striking. It seems as if the only times of feasting and celebration are the annual visits to the tombs to re-clothe the dead when ancestors' remains are removed from the ground, washed, put back into shrouds and carried in a long procession…”
Because of your help, we will be training church-planters and leaders who are taking hope to these villagers along with clinics that are being set up to provide basic healthcare.  Where sick people used to have to walk for 2 days to receive care, often dying en route during the grueling journey; today they are able to receive care in their own villages.
