“In raising children we definitely need the support of other people. It’s like we say in the village, ‘It takes a whole village to raise a child”

The same group of friends who completed the 3 Peaks Challenge in 2008 for Walou took part in a Maroccan Trek in May 2009. A six say trek from the Dades valley climbing through the Atlas Mountains and climbing Jebel M’guan. Morocco’s second highest mountain; all in aid of Walou.

Come join us for a unique evening and experience the 'sound of morocco'. The evening will include mouth watering Mediterranean cuisine, art & photography exhibition (incl. pieces by Mo*Star and Wadia Boudata), charity auction and live performance by SilkRoad.

Walou was invited to hold a workshop for school children showing them how street children their age from Morocco live on a daily basis. The workshop was held in a replicated alleyway; that was tall, narrow and littered with rubbish.

The children had to sit in the alleyway and had to complete tasks that were hidden in a large rubbish bin. The tasks showed the children how children in Morocco manage to survive by rummaging for food and water, begging from strangers for money and sleeping alone in the streets. It encouraged children to empathise with the situation of street children around the world.

The Boulevard is the biggest festival of urban music in Africa. It consists of four packed days of live performances from different genres of music and attracts tens of thousands of people. Walou was invited to the boulevard to promote itself, and sell its own brand of T-shirts, with all profits going to Walou.

Special thanks to Darga, H-kayne, Bizz2Risk for wearing the Walou t-shirts on stage and showing their support to the cause.

The National 3 Peaks Challenge is a benchmark in British hill-climbing trials.  It involves climbing the three highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales. These are Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis and Snowdon respectively. A group of 12 friends from Brighton decided to undertake the three peaks challenge to raise money for Walou.

Thanks to all the guys for completing the challenge and donating the proceeds to Walou. This year the same group of friends have decided to complete the Moroccan Trek on behalf of Walou. 

Islamic art, Charity auction, raffle and 3 course dinner. Included live performance from Maghribibeat
