Summary of Aghbala Project 2016

From the 16th of June to the 16th of September we made the so-called Field of Voluntary and Social Work in Aghbala. It was a success of volunteers’ and people’s participation who were able to benefit from the services we offered. Thanks to the Work Field we can serve many people and study the shortage of population. By ant these studies we develop international cooperation in the Middle Atlas. We wish to specially thank all the volunteers team who made the Work Field possible.
