Hannabou and the "Run Race for Children"
Contributions from the Race to Robie Creek have funded improvements in a small village (Hannabou) in Morocco, Northern Africa. The following pictures show some of the improvements. They also show the first annual Run Race for Children which started at the local Sbitar (Hospital) and finished at the village's Mosque
Hannabou is a village of approximately 6,000 people with the vast majority being Muslim. It is a very peaceful village. Almost 100 boys and girls participated in the race. It has since become a yearly event with nearly double the number of runners in 2006.
Contributions help support the local Neddy (Kindergarten) and bought desks and tables for the classrooms. ...previously all the students had to sit on the floor. Funds also supported a library, with both English and Arabic books. The village also purchased sewing machines to help a vocational program for girls.
Returned Peace Corps volunteers, who are also Rocky Canyon Sailtoads, nominated the village as worthy of our support.
