Review for High Atlas Foundation, New York, NY, USA
High Atlas Foundation had been a place where I got an amazing experience. In parallel with my English studies in Faculty of Humanities, Marrakech, I was a student in HAF for 7 months. I started out working on a business plan, then my manager had changed it to do interviews with farmers almost all arround Morocco.
The fact that I had interacted with new people from my country and from other countries, such as the US, France, Germany..... in the foundation had made it a multi cultural place! You can imagine this while we were eating from the same dish of Couscous! talking; discussing different topics altogether! I have learnt English and practise it with native speakers, this was my chance. I have learnt somehow how to do a business plan, especially how cite and avoid plagiarism, how to do researches ... and so on so forth
Then, I moved to do interviews with farmers to know the problems they have, how they grow their crops and where they sell them and what are the problems they face while selling, also we had given them some solutions... This has helped HAF to know how to deal with farmers and find it easy to get to help them to develop their skills.
All the team starting from Mr Yossef, the president to everyone has a role in HAF were so nice to me and helped me to develop myself and all the time they were aware about my studies.
If you think you can help HAF to keep going, you are thinking well. HAF was and still for me a great place and I would be so happy to get to help them any time.
This to say, that we need organizations like HAF everywhere, because they get in touch with poeple in order to be closer and know what do people undergo. I have a vivid example, HAF had been in touch,and for sure they are still , with wome women in Ourika,Marrakech and help them to have an authorized cooperation to sell their product, they helped them also to have land and plant organic almond trees... I still vividly remember those active women and how they liked eveything HAF had suggested.
Thank you THE WHOLE NICE TEAM of HAF.
