Nadira and I have been shocked and devastated to see the damage caused by last week's earthquake in the High Atlas in Morocco, the worst in 100 years.

We have dear friends who we visit every year in Morocco in the villages of Aguersioual and Imlil. Today, they are suffering as they deal with the fear of their homes collapsing and scrambling to get access to food as their normal distribution to the region have been interrupted because of road blocks.

Tomorrow, they will need to start rebuilding as middle and secondary school for the region was destroyed by the quake.

We have a dear friend who is the President of the Aguersioual village association. I've known him for almost 20 years and trust him. We are working with him directly to get relief to the nearby villages, starting with food. Then we will work with him to help support the rebuilding of vital infrastructure.

If you want to contribute to this effort, we will collect funds and get it to this community in the High Atlas.

We will also report back on progress and updates.
