After my holiday in Morocco in 2012, I felt a terrible need to go back there and for over a year I had been looking for a way to fulfil such desire. It was simply out of my sympathy, admiration and love for those people who have suffered immense poverty and yet who managed to be so generous and hospitable. During my research I stumbled upon a charity called "Hannan" that has been helping the Berber people in the Middle Atlas Mountains. It was established by a couple called Hannah (British) and Hmad (Moroccan); they built a school from scratch in a village called El Borj, where Hmad was born and raised, that now accommodates about 30 children aged 2-5 years old, and currently they are going through tough regulations and money raising (circa £150.000) for the new school for children aged 5-12 years old. They desperately need volunteers to co-ordinate the existing school by helping teachers, managing the paper work, running extra French classes, basically anything that could help children and the organization to progress.

About the author
Magdalena WasiuraIt took her thirty-seven years to develop into who she is now, but who she is now is rather tricky to describe. She knows that she was born and raised in Poland, that she went to school and university and that from the age of twenty-three she travelled and lived in a number of different countries. Quite simply until the age of twenty-three she knew nothing of the world. Her CV is "packed" with jobs: as a journalist, a model, a dancer, a clerk, an assistant for people with challenging behaviour, an extra in films, to name but a few. "I still don't know what is wrong with me. One day, says the author, I'd like to wake up and to paraphrase Jack Dee, the British comedian, say: "I know what is wrong with me. I'm a writer!"
