TARAGALTE CULTURAL CENTRE & ECOLODGE

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Together with our partners Halim and Ibrahim Sbai, Bureau East and Sahara Roots Hester Ezra and Charlotte Eijsbouts spend an amazing week in the desert crafting possibilities for a cultural centre and ecolodge on the edge of the desert in South Morocco.

It will focus on preserving both cultural traditions and the environment in combination while empowering the local community.

The delicate balance of the ecosystem of the Sahara is in danger and the oasis villages are becoming engulfed with sand. Action is needed and we hope to be part of it and share our experience in the coming years.

We also took part in the Taragalte festival and witnessed some of the best music and dancing of the Sahara. Together with the local villages and sponsored by Sahara Roots we planted trees and the first water for the trees came from the containers which were hand decorated by the local woman.

This was a first step in crafting objects for the future cultural centre and ecolodge.
