To all who were part of the High Atlas Foundation’s “Kick-off” Reception in New York City, we sincerely thank you. We are thrilled to tell you that we had over 140 guests and achieved our fundraising goal – $20,000! The proceeds will go towards an irrigation and tree-planting project in the Ait Wafqa Commune near Tafraoute (benefiting over 100 families) and help build three women’s cooperatives that Peace Corps Volunteers are assisting.

We would like to give a special thank you to our Honorees, Moroccan Ambassador Aziz Mekouar and H.E. André Azoulay, Advisor to His Majesty King Mohammed VI. We are immensely grateful to our sponsors – ABM Institute, Caterpillar, Chemonics International, Edward L. Millstein Foundation, Hackerthreads, Harris Rand Lusk, Jnane Tamsna, and Royal Air Maroc.
