Today marks the 17th anniversary of the show "Hirika". A program that shared ideas and information on development, in many ways, especially for the rural world ...

On Thursday, November 4, 2004, the program "Hirika" was broadcast for the first time on Radio Don Bosco. Corresponding to Thursday, November 4 of this year ...

Thank you, listeners, for your support, 17 years ago, thank you also to those who participated, because while you are still active in rural development, you have almost all invited to the program "Hirika", you will not be listed here but there are many, there were public officials, unions, farmers, technicians.

So many of you have worked together to manage and direct the “Hirika” show during this time, good luck to all of us, the challenge is to develop at the grassroots, so that Madagascar can prosper, in many ways.

Development and change will continue, seeking to have “hirika” and various ideas and implementations to make it happen… “Hirika” has done little and nothing for 17 years, but we also felt that we were among those who have contributed to development through the many different ideas developed during the show.

The idea was expressed in the program, but it is the role of each of us to fill the gaps, through practice and initiative, to convince the community to implement it ... "Hirika"! Let’s support each other and walk together.
