When a magnitude 6.8 earthquake devastated the High Atlas Mountain region in Morocco on Sept. 8, Maggie and her classmates thought of their tour guides and all the people they\u2019d encountered there. The impacts of the earthquake inspired faculty and students to get involved.<\/p>\n

Virginie Pioche Khar\u00e9<\/a>, associate professor of international business at Eckerd, says the fundraiser came together organically. She set up a webpage and reached out to a local contact in Marrakech.<\/p>\n

Back in 2020, during a Winter Term service trip to Morocco, Khar\u00e9 met Jaouad Bouhrazen, the managing director of JD Morocco Tours. Both Winter Term trips used his transportation services to travel around the country. In light of the recent earthquake, Bouhrazen offered to use his vehicle fleet to transport supplies purchased with the money raised by the Eckerd community. He also made a large contribution to the fundraiser.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe grew up in a village close to the affected area, so this really hit close to home,\u201d Khar\u00e9 says.<\/p>\n

The goal was to raise $2,000. Some students on the trip made flyers to advertise the mission. Parents, faculty, staff and students made donations ranging from $7 to $250. By Sept. 30, there was $2,118 in the fund.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]The money students raised will go toward purchasing food items, blankets, tents and building materials to support relief efforts in the rural villages.

Our students are passionate about helping out because they saw the affected areas with their own eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maggie says she chose the Winter Term trip to Morocco because she has some heritage there that she had not previously been able to explore. The many sights and a magical camel ride across the Sahara will always stick with her. \u201cOne of the guides had his home damaged in the earthquake,\u201d she says. \u201cSome of my classmates came to everyone, and we decided we wanted to donate our own funds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Junior marine science<\/a> student from Forest Lake, Minnesota, Tally Nesvold had a fabulous time learning about culture and religion in Morocco in January.<\/p>\n

\u201cI donated what I could because I made some really meaningful relationships over there,\u201d she says. \u201cThe country is so beautiful that I wanted to make sure it was restored for others to experience as well.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
