By Saloua Rmita<\/em> Office Ch\u00e9rifien des Phosphates (The OCP Group) organized an Act4Community Forum with its staff in Safi (Marrakech region) concerning their volunteerism to support civil society actions for human development. The aim of the Forum is to spread awareness and inspire volunteers to create change within their communities and country and assist them in implementing local projects to create sustainable development.<\/p>\n Dr. Yossef Ben-Meir, the President of the High Atlas Foundation,\u00a0addressed the audience of the Forum<\/a>\u00a0to share his experiences volunteering in Morocco, starting as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the early 1990s.<\/p>\n Furthermore, he discussed people’s stories and challenges in different regions of Morocco, such as lack of clean water and adequate schools. He insisted that the solution to these problems is to create more opportunities for people\u2019s participation and volunteering, and to call on other associations to follow the same path by encouraging their voluntary work.<\/p>\n My participation in Act4Community had a remarkable impact on me; I learned how\u00a0volunteer work is significant not just\u00a0for people\u00a0who will receive it but also for\u00a0volunteers themselves.<\/p>\n You can listen to Dr. Ben-Meir\u2019s talk\u00a0here<\/a>.\u00a0 You can also\u00a0give to volunteer training programs<\/a>\u00a0with Moroccan university students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Saloua Rmita HAF intern from Eastern Mediterranean University in Northern Cyprus Office Ch\u00e9rifien des Phosphates (The OCP Group) organized an Act4Community Forum with its staff in Safi (Marrakech region) concerning their volunteerism to support civil society actions for human development.
