Diaspora, Africa – (African Boulevard News) – Moroccan children in the region of Asni are overcoming immense challenges to receive an education, following a devastating earthquake that destroyed their schools. These resilient youngsters now walk long distances to attend a temporary tent school, where they not only gain knowledge but also receive essential psychological support from their dedicated teachers.
The earthquake, which struck the region recently, left many communities in ruins, including their educational institutions. In the face of this adversity, the Moroccan government swiftly set up temporary tent schools to ensure the education of these young minds did not come to a halt.

Through carefully planned activities and counseling sessions, these educators are helping the children heal and rebuild their lives.
“I have seen these kids transform before my eyes. They come to school with heavy hearts, burdened with the memories of the earthquake. But through our support and care, they are gradually regaining their sense of security and hope,” says Amina Jamal, a teacher at one of the tent schools.
The dedication of these teachers is commendable, and their efforts are crucial in ensuring these children receive the emotional support they need to continue their education effectively. Despite the challenges they face, the children of Asni are determined to succeed, demonstrating incredible resilience and a thirst for knowledge that is truly inspiring.
The Moroccan government, in collaboration with local authorities and international organizations, is working tirelessly to rebuild the region’s educational infrastructure and provide a safe and conducive learning environment for these children.
