We're gearing for an action-packed semester. Tarik is currently in Morocco, creating a partnership with a few other NGOs that are doing similar work. He is also coordinating a tree planting of 2000 trees, which are to be donated by the government ministry on water and forests. Needless to say, dealing with bureaucracy is never a simple procedure, particularly in a developing country, but he's hoping to get things sorted out before he comes home on February 1st. The last project he is simultaneously working on is building a nursery on the school grounds that will be run by the partnership he is creating. They are hoping to provide themselves with a source of trees in addition to operating as a centralized location for awareness and information dissemination.
Back in the U.S. we've got a team of 6 interns that are currently laying out their respective tasks. We are working together to create a program, do the background research, fundraise, write an evaluation study and then go over to Morocco and implement it. There is much to be done and we've got a really good team so far. This is a new model that we're trying out and so far, things are looking really good. Everyone has their goals and projects that they hope to accomplish. You will be hearing about all of them in the months to come.
