I attended this challenge in the years 2000 and when I came back home in France , I was utterly transformed, I realized that Morocco was welcoming me with open arms.When I arrived in Morocco, I was stuck by the large number of orphanages, the numerous children living in the street, families living in extreme poverty. Nowadays , living in Taroudant, I feel like acting in a concrete manner. But how can we change mentalities if not by promoting education? I am moved by the orphanage of Taroudant where I have been working for years. Now , I know that I am in the right place and that I will not grow older uselessly! I have st free from selfish matters typical of western lifestyle. I am fond of the idea of not losing my time and most of all giving my time in a clever manner. Helping others is for me an absolute emergency. I first Thought that this would be one of the many experiences in my life but it is becoming one of its best moments, a kind of revelation.    <img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/488245/18194781_1278783778896245_7545999108019966127_n-1519047145.jpg" />   <img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/488237/11391511_787608854680409_1982574392099704458_n-1519045960.jpg" />  <img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/495223/Pat_titre3_anglais-1520710550.jpg" /> <img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/493570/1-1520362781.png" />Increasing wages :The average monthly wages in Taroudant ( When one manages to find a job...)The social workers at the orphanage work 4 days a week,24 hours a day and then have a four-day break.
