My Nonprofit Reviews

On the 21st January, HAF president Yossef Ben-Meir and part of the HAF team joined the local community in Arabat in the Rhamna Province, where the locals have welcomed us with open hands and warm hearts, and a beautiful Moroccan breakfast including some freshly baked msemmen, hand-picked nuts and liters of sugary mint tea. After sharing an indulgent breakfast together and discussing some of the issues related to the water supply, organic farming and the importance of sustainable agriculture, the team has signed a significant Partnership Agreement with the Regional Teachers Federation of Association. Chemsedine Sidi-Baba, Chair of the Board of HAF-Morocco, signed on behalf of the organization. This agreement will not only facilitate cooperation in building community infrastructure and environmental workshops in schools, but also create community bonds.

Along with local farmers, teachers and the local administrators, the HAF team proceeded to plant 70 fruit trees including pomegranate and almond. The community's children joined us and enthusiastically participated in this team-building experience.

The second site of tree planting was a primary school, Ecole Riad El Menzeh in Yaman Sourt near Marrakech, where we distributed and planted trees with the help of the kids, teachers and the president of Marrakech’s Jewish community, Mr. Kadoch. The tree planting day was filled with many smiles and could be summed up as a very and positive and fruitful (literally and metaphorically) experience as it brought many people together who are coming from a variety of different background, and encouraged collaboration and teamwork, and allowed the members of the HAF and the local people closely connect.
