Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will be dealing with a mix of Syrian (me) Moroccan (my friend) and Berber (the place we will be at). You could learn how to make extremely authentic Moroccan food, bake bread, and learn how Moroccans used to build their mud houses pre Industrial Revolution. If you’re interested in learning Arabic (Moroccan and/or Syrian) or Berber, you could learn through immersion. And you get to see how people outside of the city live.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We need someone to become part of the family. We are figuring this out along the way. No skills required. There are an number of things that could be done around the land. These include help watering the trees and plants. Help making bricks. And moving them around. Digging the mud. Mixing the brick mixture. Herding sheep. There is a plethora of tasks to be accomplished and help is welcomed in any form.

Beside the fact that abd al ghafour (land owner) and joudy (the idea creator) became my good friends, working with the soft natural soil and seeing every day the beautiful picture of red, brown and green mountain landscape, put in my heart a lot of love and hope.
