Kate Jeans-Gail Memorial
Fruit Tree Nursery Fund

The High Atlas Foundation is undertaking a special fundraiser in memory of Kate Jeans-Gail, a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco from 2001 to 2003, who was tragically killed in a car accident along with her mother in December 2003. In recognition of her extraordinary service to Morocco, we want to build a tree nursery in her name in Ouarzazate Province, where she lived in southern Morocco.

The Moroccan Ambassador to the United States, Mr. Aziz Mekouar, graciously hosted a reception at his home on Friday, June 23rd, to kick-off the Kate Jeans-Gail Memorial and to honor Edward Gabriel, former United States Ambassador to Morocco, who has been incredibly supportive of HAF’s efforts for many years. We will celebrate the achievement of the Kate Jeans-Gail Memorial Fund at our annual event in NYC on September 21st.

Kate was such an inspiration and positive influence on everyone that she met and we want to help carry on the work that she started. There were so many people that loved her and want some way to honor her memory. This memorial will help them do that – as well as help thousands of Moroccans live better lives. Most importantly, the trees will serve as a living reminder of Kate and her love for the Moroccan people. We believe this will be a fitting tribute to her commitment to Morocco and to her extraordinarily generous spirit.
