Azemmour Visual Art festival
My little house in Morocco is in the beautiful walled medina of Azemmour. Many important Moroccan artists, have been drawn to Azemmour by it's peaceful pace of life, and the beautiful light emanating from the wide Oum Er-Rbia River, just before it reaches the sea. In 2011 the historic walled medina hosted it's first Visual Art Festival, which was a huge success, and supported whole heartedly by the local Governor. International artists painted their own style of wall art throughout the medina, and gave the Azemmourians a new pride in their surroundings. It was very interesting to see that many locals also decided to paint murals on their houses the following weekend! The 2nd festival is planned for 10th/11th and 12th May...... I've already booked my ticket!

The world’s poor spends a staggering US$ 40 billion annually for their energy needs. This equals 10 to 25% of their precarious monthly household budgets on dirty fuels like kerosene. Many remote villages in tribal India are still without electricity. Just £15.00 buys a solar light which will give a family more than enough good light on a daily basis when fully charged. Women can continue with their work, without the toxic hazard of burning kerosene and more importantly children can study into the evening without damaging their eye sight. Whenever I am given a charity donation my first thought is which village needs solar lights!
