<div>My name is Soufiane TAIK. I’m 19 years old. I was born and raised in Morocco—and raised again by art, language, struggle, and by hope. Today, I study English Literature at Chouaib Doukkali University. I chose the English department because I love language—but mostly because it was the only door open to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I didn’t grow up surrounded by art or expensive cameras. I had a phone, a vision, and a feeling I couldn’t ignore. I started filming everything—the silence in my neighborhood, the strength in people’s eyes, the beauty we pass by every day. This became my voice. A voice that carried me into a journey with the NKOON Cultural Center in my city, El Jadida. They believed in me. They gave me the space and trust to learn photography, filmmaking, and so much more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There, I worked on real projects—including two with the talented director Oualid Ayoub—where, for the first time, I didn’t feel like an outsider.
</div>
<div>I felt like a filmmaker.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then came a moment I never expected:
</div>
<div>I was accepted into ESAV Marrakech, Morocco’s top school for film and visual arts.
</div>
<div>It felt like a dream opening its door to me.
</div>
<div>But dreams, even when they welcome you in, often come with a price.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The tuition is 52,000 MAD (5000 Euro) per year.
</div>
<div>And as someone from a modest background, where survival always comes before dreaming, I simply can’t afford it.
</div>
<div>But today, I want to change that story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support can help me make this dream real.
</div>
<div>It will allow me to study the department I’ve always dreamed of—and afford the basic filmmaking gear I need.
</div>
<div>This isn’t just about funding an education.
</div>
<div>It’s about investing in a young Moroccan voice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m not asking for pity.
</div>
<div>I’m asking for belief.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you believe in art, in education, in potential—and in what one story can become when given the chance—please consider supporting this journey.
</div>
<div>Even a small donation can make a difference.
</div>
<div>Even sharing this message helps more than you know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One day, I want to tell stories that move people, that bring light to the culture, and that open doors for others who dream quietly.
</div>
<div>But today, I need your help to keep my own dream alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Below, you’ll find my Pre-Registration certificate, my portfolio, resume, and recommendation letters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading my story.
</div>
<div>And thank you, from the heart, for being part of it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>— Soufiane TAIK
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Je m'appelle Soufiane TAIK, j’ai 19 ans. Je suis né et j’ai grandi au Maroc — puis j’ai grandi une seconde fois, grâce à l’art, à la langue, à la lutte, et surtout, à l’espoir. Aujourd’hui, je poursuis mes études en littérature anglaise à l’Université Chouaib Doukkali. J’ai choisi cette filière parce que j’aime la langue… mais surtout parce que c’était la seule porte ouverte devant moi.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Je n’ai pas grandi entouré d’art ou de caméras coûteuses. J’avais un téléphone, une vision, et un ressenti que je ne pouvais pas ignorer. J’ai commencé à filmer tout ce que je voyais : le silence de mon quartier, la force dans les regards, la beauté qu’on oublie de regarder. Cela est devenu ma voix.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Une voix qui m’a accompagné dans une aventure au Centre Culturel NKOON à El Jadida, ma ville. Là-bas, on a cru en moi. On m’a donné la confiance et l’espace pour apprendre la photographie, le cinéma, et bien plus encore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>J’ai eu la chance de travailler sur de vrais projets, notamment deux collaborations avec le réalisateur Oualid Ayoub. Pour la première fois, je ne me suis pas senti comme un étranger.
</div>
<div>Je me suis senti cinéaste.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Et puis, un jour, quelque chose d’inattendu est arrivé :
</div>
<div>J’ai été accepté à l’ESAV Marrakech, la meilleure école de cinéma et d’arts visuels du Maroc.
</div>
<div>C’était comme si un rêve m’ouvrait enfin ses portes.
</div>
<div>Mais même les rêves, parfois, ont un prix.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Les frais de scolarité s’élèvent à 52 000 dirhams par an.
</div>
<div>Et quand on vient d’un foyer modeste — où la survie passe avant les rêves — c’est un obstacle presque infranchissable.
</div>
<div>Mais aujourd’hui, je veux changer cette histoire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Votre soutien peut m’aider à réaliser ce rêve.
</div>
<div>Il me permettra d’étudier dans le département que j’ai toujours désiré intégrer, et d’acquérir le matériel de base pour créer.
</div>
<div>Ce n’est pas juste financer des études — c’est investir dans une voix marocaine, jeune et passionnée.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Je ne demande pas la pitié.
</div>
<div>Je demande la confiance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Si vous croyez en l’art, en l’éducation, en la jeunesse, et en ce que peut devenir une histoire lorsqu’elle trouve sa chance, alors je vous invite à soutenir ce parcours.
</div>
<div>Même un petit don fait une grande différence.
</div>
<div>Et si vous ne pouvez pas donner, partager cette cagnotte est déjà un immense geste.
</div>
<div>Un jour, je veux raconter des histoires qui touchent, qui illuminent notre culture, et qui ouvrent des portes à d’autres jeunes qui rêvent en silence.
</div>
<div>Mais aujourd’hui, j’ai besoin de vous pour garder mon propre rêve en vie.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vous trouverez ci-dessous ma lettre de préinscription, mon portfolio, mon CV, et mes lettres de recommandation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Merci d’avoir lu mon histoire.
</div>
<div>Et merci, du fond du cœur, d’en faire partie.
</div>
<div><br />
