To The Other Side Of The World and Beyond
A Remarkable Journey of Adventure and Impact
Embarking on a journey to Africa is like delving into the depths of an extraordinary adventure. It was a purposeful expedition, driven by the desire to make a profound impact on the lives of underserved communities across the continent. As Nelson Mandela once said, "It always seems impossible until you do it." This resonated deeply within us as we set foot on Moroccan soil, ready to explore the unknown and push the boundaries of our capabilities. Our expedition led us to the remote and captivating landscapes of Mauritania—a vast expanse of no man's land where few dare to tread. The road trips were not for the faint-hearted, as we found ourselves sleeping in the car, traversing through the majestic Sahara desert alongside nomadic communities. The harsh reality of potential kidnappings loomed in our minds, but we persevered with the guidance and protection of the Moroccan Gendarmerie, a formidable military force responsible for maintaining law and order among the civilian population.
