Madagaskara: Volunteer Conversations

You end up having some very weird conversations as a volunteer. Often, you don’t realize they’re weird until after you’ve had them.

Volunteer 1: Hey, are you going to go to Samabava on Friday?
Volunteer 2: Oh, I don’t think I’ll be able to come until Saturday morning.
Volunteer 1: Why not?
Volunteer 2: My school is butchering a cow. I really think I should be there.
Volunteer 1: Ya, it’d probably be rude to miss that. How’d they get a cow?
Volunteer 2: Well, there was that soccer tournament and they won. So they got the cow as a prize.
Volunteer 1: Cool. See you Saturday then.
Volunteer 2: See You.
