Tadmamt tree nursery, Province of Al Haouz (23 July 2018)<\/em><\/p>\n By Saloua Rmita (Eastern Mediterranean University in Cyprus) This nursery includes one hectare of land for planting three kinds of organic fruit seeds which are irrigated by a large water basin. There are cherry (60 000 seeds), almond (85,800 seeds), and walnuts (45,000 seeds).<\/p>\n Upon arriving at the site, we met Mr. Youssef, who takes care of the land now that his father, who is the responsible in the nursery, is ill. In our journey, we went visit Mr. Omar, Youssef\u2018s father, at his home.\u00a0 His family is so humble and generous.\u00a0 They welcomed us with a smile.<\/p>\n Mr. Omar, is a sixty-year-old man.\u00a0 In addition, he is a hard-working person who supports his large family from the salary he receives from HAF. Mr. Omar lives 12 kilometers from the nursery.\u00a0 This doesn\u2019t prevent him from coming every morning to the nursery, except for now that he is not feeling well.\u00a0 It is more than a job for him, it is a story of love.<\/p>\n Moreover, HAF\u2019a approach consists to improve livelihoods of rural households, increasing incomes and socioeconomic status of marginalized villages. HAF\u2019s goal is to overcome the poverty cycle by pushing past traditional practices of subsistence agriculture with the help of the nurseries and other agricultural activities, such as cooperative and certifying organic.<\/p>\n HAF\u2018s purpose is noble.\u00a0 This amazing organization is supporting and helping people to achieve their dreams. This experience taught us how hard life is for other people, and how the Foundation is trying hard to make people\u2019s life easier and give them chances to make their lives better.<\/p>\n We are thankful to the High Atlas Foundation for giving us such a wonderful opportunity to be here as volunteers.<\/p>\n
