The Souk: The Launch of the Street Children Project and a Celebration of Morocco

The Al-Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre244 Acklam Road, W10 5YG Saturday, 13^th March 2010, 4pm-8pm

To celebrate the launch of its Street Children project, the Moroccan Children’s Trust will bring you the hustle and bustle of the souk, brimming with the sounds and flavours of Moroccan culture. With family-friendly activities for all  – drumming workshops, art exhibitions, henna, shopping and delicious food – you can enjoy the Souk in London!

The Moroccan Children’s Trust is a UK registered charity, established in 2008. In partnership with Groupe Maroc Horizons, a well-known NGO in Taroudannt, South Morocco, we run social and educational development schemes. Our volunteer programme fosters global links, which aim to encourage a better understanding of Morocco, and its culture.

This event launches our exciting project to research and assist street children in Morocco. Currently, we are researching the problems faced by street children and their hopes for the future. This data will help us create a youth centre offering the healthcare and counselling services, that will best meet their needs.

We hope to see you at “The Souk”, where we can celebrate Moroccan culture and launch our street children project. With your support we can provide the children with services that will improve their lives. Together, we can build brighter futures for Moroccan children.
