    My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

    A locust plague is devastating Madagascar, with billions of locusts destroying crops and threatening the rainforests. When I came upon these locusts I thought at first it was a cloud of smoke from burning lands, but as we got closer we saw the real cloud - millions of locusts sweeping the landscape. Two little children run through the field catching locusts in bags. Families were roasting the locusts as a new food source to replace the crops lost due to the plague.
