Orphanage in LaAyoune

There is so much that occurred in a small 9 day period in Africa, so I will write about pieces or my blog would become a book!

Down in South Morocco in a city called LaAyoune we were lucky to meet with many people, their La Wal (above what we call Governor) and many people that were victims from the Camps in Tindufu, and hospitals, and then the orphanage of "abandoned children."

A lot of the work I do through Highwire and threading hope is in orphanages and hospitals so it was great to get to see the children. The orphanage itself is amazing clean and well organized, I was so impressed...and of course the child was so adorable. One little girl would not let me go staff had to come and pull her away...ouch to the heart strings.

This trip was amazing and had days full of hard to hear reality that we documented, to days full of hope with excitement from the Kings foundation for my art projects and quilts to come to the country again and help the people! I hope to be back there again within a year and start my work...there are over 202 orphanages...lots to do!
