Looking for friends from the Amporaha camp in Nosy Be (page 29 of 31)

TO ALL, my friends,

With the hope of seeing you again soon for my greatest pleasure, To you and your family, I wish you

A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

May this year be as radiant as the sky in the photo Warm regards, Francis the Nosy-Be local

Good evening, Dear friends, I have two pieces of good news to share: - The first: At last, I can announce to those who contributed to Mumu’s fundraiser that the 3 packages have finally arrived—after quite a struggle! (photo at the bottom) I was a bit stressed because they’d been on the way since the end of March 🤪! Between the dock workers' strike in Réunion, some packages disappearing from the container, and transport issues to the site, I lost the only hair I had left on my head! A huge thank you again to everyone.

- The second: The photo library on our site "ivato-nosybe.com" is growing, and if you’d like to share your photos by posting them yourself, you can do so here --> http://www.ivato-nosybe.com/diaporama/index.php I’ve started, now it’s your turn. If you have any trouble, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Have a great evening everyone

Thanks Francis! We also hope this new year brings you health, happiness, and prosperity, and that your move to Nosy Be goes smoothly. We’re really thinking about coming to recharge on the beaches of this beautiful island that left us with so many great memories. Best wishes, Yves and Jeannick😎

Happy New Year to you too... Gégé.

Happy New Year to you, Lenosybéen! I just had a chat with Gégé, and he reassured me about Mada. 😉

Hello LENOSYBEEN, I’m new to the site. I lived in Cité Foche between ’69 and ’71, and for nearly 12 years now I’ve been looking for former residents of Foch. I’m COIQUIL Bernard—my father worked at Ivato, and we spent our holidays in Nosy Be. I went to school in Tana at the Collège de France; I was twelve in ’69.

Good evening everyone, Bernard, You can contact me privately by clicking on one of the links at the bottom or by clicking on "lenosybeen" on the left and sending a private message. I know it’s not obvious at first. See you soon! Have a great evening, Francis, the Nosy Be local

hey francis, i just added a few photos to the nosy be album with some sunset shots. i’ve got more—i’ll add them a bit later.

Hello everyone, May is finally here, which means it's the best time to visit Nosy Be! I'm leaving in less than 15 days now for... the village of the pirogue fishermen to practice my first job as a pirogue fisherman!!! I think this year, to start, I'll do a little week-long fishing trip off the Mitsiou islands. Who loves me, follow me!

Best wishes to all, Francis, the Nosy Be local

Hello everyone, I got back from Madagascar about two weeks ago now... and I'm still struggling a bit to get back into the swing of things. My first flight with Kenya Airways: CDG -> Nairobi -> Tana -> then... Nosy-Bé by road. The return trip was the same in reverse. Aside from the journey being exhausting, the rest was overwhelmingly positive, especially the savings: over 300 €! I hope you all have a wonderful end-of-year celebration with family or friends. With a special thought for those who find themselves alone.

Best,

Francis the Nosy-Béan

Hello Francis, from your last message, it looks like you're back in France. Must be tough getting used to life in the Métropole again! We wish you a happy and wonderful 2015. See you soon, Gisèle and Jean-Marie

hi francis, we hope you have a smooth readjustment. I can well believe it’s tough to leave paradise! Thanks for the info on the interesting flights. I’m thinking maybe next year, if all goes well, I’ll head over there. Wishing you happy holidays and see you soon! yves

Wishing you all a happy and wonderful 2015! Good health and... lots and lots... of amazing moments like in the photo. Happy New Year to everyone!

Best,

Francis from Nosy Be

hi there After a ton of research, I stumbled upon this super interesting forum. I’m trying to find my grandfather, who I believe was in the military at BA181 between 1960 and 1963, with a detachment at STPMAA in Tamatave... His name would be LHOMME or LHOMMEE, first name Georges.

Just a little backstory: he met my grandmother in Tamatave, and my mom was born from their relationship. The story doesn’t end there, though—he apparently never knew about the birth... My grandmother passed away around 1971, so I don’t have much info, but if anyone can shed some light, that would be amazing.

Thanks everyone

After an enormous amount of research, I came across this very interesting forum. I’m looking for my grandfather, who was supposedly in the military at BA181 between 1960 and 1963, I think. With a detachment at STPMAA in Tamatave... His name would be LHOMME or LHOMMEE, first name Georges.

Hello Céline, I do remember that a certain Lhomme stayed at the holiday camp in Nosy-Be (at our place) but around 1969, 1970, or 1971. I think it was at the same time as Lardenois, Normann, Dezetter, Troin... I even seem to recall inviting him to a party I organized in 1986 at the Taverny base. Not 100% sure about his first name, but I think it was indeed Georges. However, there’s another Lhomme who contacted me in the 2000s about a piece of land in Antaolankena that belonged to my father. A professional swindler! I hope it’s not him for your sake! You can contact me via PM if you’d like. Best regards,

Hello everyone, I wish you all a happy and wonderful 2016! and here are a few photos to warm your heart! Happy New Year to all! Francis from Nosy-Be

thanks francis for these wonderful photos. i also wish you all the best for this new year, and i hope to plan a trip myself soon. see you soon, yves

Francis, Gisèle and I (Jean-Marie) wish you a happy and prosperous 2016. Happiness, health, and all that... plus lots of trips to Madagascar.

Dear friends, I'm off again for nearly 3 months—guess where? Yep, still in my little hidden spot! Here ==> So... who loves me, follow me!

Hey Francis! Three months—I’m dreaming... of your paradise! How’s your region doing? Madagascar is still a dream for me 😅 Send some photos of your paradise! What do you plan to do in Nosy Be—hikes, dives...? See you soon! My plans are getting closer as the months go by, but I still have work to do back in France... Start planning some itineraries, and we’ll figure out a dream trip together... PR😎
