Morocco: (2004-03-27) - Operation
Mercy Morocco recently sponsored a trauma counseling training seminar for
locals willing to volunteer in the aftermath of Morocco's devastating earthquake
on 24 February. The training was provided by Operation Mercy Turkey's project
manager for disaster response.
Thirteen men and women participated
in the two day training and then travelled as a team to Al Hoceima and
its surrounding villages under the auspices of a local NGO. Dividing into
smaller teams, the local counselors are spending long days listening to
heartwrenching stories of loss.
Operation Mercy Turkey provided 650 toys for children and your donations are providing other needed commodities and shelter. The greatest need is for funds for reconstruction which will begin as soon as geological surveys render the area stable."
