December 12, 2006 - Ilakaka, Madagascar. Paul Rabialaky, 54, has been in Ilakaka for 5 years, looking for fortune as he hope to find Saphirre. Although, he found some precious stones a few years ago and managed to send the money in his family, he has found almost nothing for the last 2 years. His agricultural background permit him to survive as he farm some rice, corn and maniok between his mining activities. He lives with his wife while their children stay with family in Fianarantsoa.
