Miracle
at Merzouga: Re-building camp in Morocco Fall 2008
|
In 2006 villages in the Merzouga area of Morocco were severely damaged by flash
flooding, destroying a hundred houses of the local
Berber people. Government support has been lacking
and villagers to this day live in tents waiting to
rebuild their homes.
Miracle at Merzouga is an effort to support the people
of Merzouga in their reconstruction effort. Elke and
team are planning a re-building camp with participants
who raise funds towards the houses and in exchange
will learn local natural building techniques. Our
lead team will work with local builders and owners
to provide a unique opportunity to practice hands
on, with theory and background info offered for those
interested in deepening their learning.
