🎓🇺🇸 🏀 Vaovao mahafinaritra ho an'ny taranja basikety!

Niarahaba an'i Jerry Rabibisoa, mpilalao sangany ao amin'ny ekipam-pirenena ANKOAY, ny Mpanolontsaina momba ny Serasera sy Kolontsaina Ryan Peseckas, noho ny nahazoany vatsim-pianarana ao amin'ny New Mexico Junior College. Fianarana izay hanampy azy hilalao ao amin'ny Diviziona voalohany an'ny NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) ary hanatratra ny tanjony hilalao amin’ny NCAA (National College Athletics Association) any aoriana.

Faly loatra ny Mpanolontsaina Peseckas ka avy hatrany dia nandray baolina niara- nilalao kely tamin'i Jerry, tsy nanala palitao intsony. Ny fisitrahana mpilalao Malagasy vatsim-pianarana toa izao dia porofo fa manan-talenta sy mahay ny atleta eto an-toerana. Reharehanay ny manohana ny fifanakalozana traikefa sy tombotsoa eo amin'ny firenena roa tonta toa izao.

Mirary soa, Jerry!

🔹Faly nandray ireto mpianatra avy ao amin'ny Sampam-pampianarana Asa Sosialy ao amin'ny Oniversiten'Antananarivo ireto ny Mpiandraiki-draharaha mpisolo toerana Melanie Higgins androany. Mpianatr’i Tsikitsiky Razanamasy, izay maintimolalin'ny International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), ireto nitsidika ny biraon'ny ambasady amerikana sy ny 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 vao nohavaozina ireto.

🇺🇸💡A Warm Welcome at the 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿!
🔹U.S. Chargé d'Affaires a.i. Melanie Higgins was thrilled to welcome a lively group of Social Work students from the University of Antananarivo, led by International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) alumna Tsikitsiky Razanamasy, to the Embassy this week for an inside look at our newly renovated 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿.

🔹From hands-on discovery in our 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿, to learning about higher education with our EducationUSA advisor and U.S. exchange programs, to browsing our 𝗲𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗨𝗦𝗔 and digital resources connecting them to American culture and ideas, it was a day full of curiosity and connection! Students practiced their English while learning about the U.S.-Malagasy relationship and opportunities to study in the United States.

In her remarks, CDA Higgins encouraged the students to: "𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘴 – 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱 𝘵𝘰𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺, 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩."

🔹The American Center continues to be a hub where young minds engage with U.S. culture, education, and innovation. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming American Center activities.

🔹Nampiantrano ny fikaonan-dohan'ireo mpisehatra isan-tsokajiny amin'ny ady amin'ny famarinana olombelona ny Sampandraharaha misahana ny raharaha politika sy toekarena, ary ny Sampandraharaha misahana ny filaminana eto amin'ny masoivoho amerikana tamin'ity herinandro ity. Fihaonana izay nandraisan'ny solontena avy amin'ny mpitandro filaminana, masoivoho vahiny, tompon'andraikim-panjakana, sampan-draharaha iraisam-pirenena, ary fikambanan'ny fiarahamonim-pirenena mba hanamafisana ny paikady iombonana hiadiana amin'ny famarinana olombelona amin'ny alalan'ny fisolokiana an'habaka.

🔹 Nohamafisin'ny Mpiandraiki-draharaha mpisolo toerana Melanie Higgins fa zava-dehibe ny fiaraha-miasa eo amin'ny firenena roa tonta, ary ny fandraisana anjaran'i Madagasikara hatrany amin'ireo ezaka iombonana hiadiana amin'ny heloka bevava an'habaka iraisam-pirenena sy ny ambana amin'ny trangana famarinana olombelona.

🔹Niara-nandinika ireo karazana trangana famarinana olombelona efa nisy izy ireo ary nifampizara hevitra momba ny fomba hiadina amin'izany, indrindra fa efa mivoatra amin'ny tsara hatrany ny ezaka ataon'i Madagasikara amin'ity ady ity. Nisondrotra tamin'ny Sokajy 2 amin’ny maridrefy iraisam-pirenena momba ny famarinana olombelona i Madagasikara araka ny Tatitra momba ny Famarinana Olombelona navoakan'ny Departemantam-panjakana amerikana tamin'ny taona 2025, taorian’ny nijanonany telo taona nisesy tao amin’ny lisitra fanaraha-maso.

🔹Ny lohahevitra manerantany amin’ity taona ity hoe "𝗩𝗼𝗮𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗸𝘆 𝗻𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗮𝗻'𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗸𝗮" dia manasongadina ny tsindry miaro herisetra sy famatorana amin’ny trosa iainan’ireo lasibatra maneran-tany amin’ny hosoka an’habaka, ka mety hitera-doza ho an’ireo olom-pirenena amerikana sy malagasy.

🔹Miaradia hatrany amin'i Madagasikara ny masoivoho amerikana amin'ity ady ity. Miantraika amin'ny fiainan'olona an-tapitrisany eto an-toerana sy maneran-tany ny famarinana olombelona ary tsy misy firenena afaka miatrika izany samirery. Rehefa miara-miasa isika dia afaka mamerina ny fanantenana sy ny fahamendrehana ho an'ireo lasibatra.

🔹This week, the U.S. Embassy's Political-Economic and Regional Security Offices convened a multi-stakeholder dialogue bringing together law enforcement, foreign missions, international institutions, and civil society organizations to strengthen our collective response to trafficking in persons including the emerging threat of scam-related trafficking operations.

🔹Chargé d’Affaires a.i. Melanie Higgins presented remarks emphasizing the importance of collaboration between our two nations, highlighting Madagascar’s continued participation in coordinated security efforts to fight transnational cybercrime and trafficking threats.

🔹Participants assessed ongoing TIP cases and shared perspectives on tackling this scourge together, building on real progress: Madagascar was recently upgraded to Tier 2 in the U.S. Department of State's 2025 Trafficking in Persons Report, following three years on the Watch List.

🔹This year's global theme, "𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗺," highlights how victims worldwide are forced through violence and debt bo***ge into online fraud operations that harm citizens of the United States as well as Madagascar.

🔹The U.S. Embassy remains committed to standing with Madagascar in this fight. Trafficking affects millions of lives here and around the world, and no country can face it alone. Together, we can restore hope and dignity to its victims.

🔹Tamin'ny taona 2015 izy no efa nifototra tamin'ny fanabeazana Montessori eto Madagasikara, ary hatramin'izao dia mbola manampy be azy ny haitarika norantoviny sy ny fifandraisana nokolokoloiny tany Etazonia nandritra ny fandraisany anjara tamin'ny fandaharanasan'ny Departemantam-panjakana amerikana MWF ny taona 2018.

🔹Izao fahombiazan'i Notoavina izao dia porofo mivaingana maneho fa mateza sy maharitra ny vokatsoa ateraky ny fandaharanasa fifanakalozana tohanan'ny governemanta amerikana ary tsy mitsaha-mitombo ny fiaraha-miasa amin'ireo maintimolaly sy ny mpanabe ary rafi-pampianarana vahiny sy eto an-toerana amin'ny fampiroboroboana ny kalitaon'ny fanabeazana manerantany.
