By Dr. Yossef Ben-Meir | President of High Atlas Foundation
It is our sincere pleasure to convey to you that during this 2016 planting season we distributed and planted 20,400 fruit trees with 120 schools located in nine provinces of Morocco, including 42 municipalities.
The attached tables summarize the locations, the tree varieties and the number of students (130,000 total) that participated in this national effort. We call this initiative Sami’s Project in loving memory of the sweet child and his complete love of nature. We are grateful to Sami’s father Rachid, the Embassy of Switzerland, YSL Beaute and the very kind individuals in Morocco and the United States who supported this project.
In addition, we highly appreciate the Education Delegation of the Province of Ifrane for our partnership agreement that enables planting community fruit tree nurseries on land lend by schools. We are also thankful for the schools in Smimou and Boujdour who also kindly lent land for this national agricultural imperative.
Tthese initiatives raise the consciousness of our children in regards to their stewardship of the natural environment and the enormous health and profitability that comes with organic cultural practices.
It is our humble hope that the next planting season and all the ones that may follow that together and with ever more partners we may plant with the children of Morocco as far and as wide as possible.
