Building such relationships is like paving a road to communication and for me to better understand this vast and diverse community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/highatlasfoundation.org\/images\/stories\/blog%204%20child%202.png\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Saturday, December 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It was a sunny cool day. I decided to go to the beach. It is no more than 15 minutes from my apartment. It was empty, except for me and the overwhelming sound made by the blue white waves. I don\u2019t understand why people don\u2019t like going to the beach during the week. Maybe they have a special time for visiting it, but I\u2019m not aware of what that might be!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I recognized a large white structure next to the shore, a special for people to gather to fulfill the prayers for Eid Aladha and Eid\u00a0 Alfitter, two very holy days in Islam. It is called \u201cAl Mussalla.\u201d\u00a0 The deserted surrounding area was covered with plants locally named \u201cAl hbalia,\u201d which is smooth with water inside its tiny oval leaves, \u201cOum Elbeina\u201d(this plant\u2019s name is derived from milk\u2019s name because when it is cut, a white liquid like milk comes out of its thorny leaves), and \u201cElaaggeia\u201d (a plant having white flowers).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/highatlasfoundation.org\/images\/stories\/blog%204%20tree%201.png\" width=\"225\" height=\"175\" border=\"0\" \/>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/highatlasfoundation.org\/images\/stories\/blog%204%20tree%202.png\" width=\"225\" height=\"175\" border=\"0\" \/>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/highatlasfoundation.org\/images\/stories\/blog%204%20tree%203.png\" width=\"225\" height=\"175\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the afternoon, I searched for a cyber caf\u00e9. It is so hard to find a good one, then struggling the slow internet connection to email my blog of week 3 to the HAF team.
