🏛️ A Journey into the Heart of Malagasy History
Last week, our 40 junior and high school students traded their textbooks for a day of discovery at the Rova of Antananarivo. 🇲🇬
For us in Madagascar, the Rova is our "Eiffel Tower"—a symbol of pride and resilience. After being closed for years following the fire, seeing it fully restored as a museum was an incredible experience for our scholars. In a country with so few museums, this was a rare and vital chance for them to see their own history honored.
Highlights of the day:
🏰 Exploring the beautifully restored Palace of the Queen.
👣 Honoring sacred traditions by entering the royal houses with the traditional fomba—shoes off, right foot first, and entering backwards.
🕊️ Reflecting on our national identity at the tombs of the former sovereigns.
At Elevatus Foundation, we believe that to lead the future, you have to know your past. We are so proud of how our students represented the foundation during this powerful cultural exchange.
