NEWSLETTER:
The
Association publishes a bi-annual newsletter in Arabic on our
activities and projects. We read in the last number:
Each
year when the school year begins during the month of September,
the Tetouan-Asmir Association distributes between 350 and 600
school bags containing books, notebooks, etc.. among the needy
children in the underprivileged urban and rural areas of the
city.
We
also donate glasses to the school children.
Each
year during the holy month of Ramadan, we distribute food to
the poor in about 800
boxes containing oil, sugar, flour, tea, coffee, etc..
Taadila
is an old social traditional ceremony in Tetouan during which
little girls are dressed as traditional brides. The
association organizes this ceremony during which about sixty
little girls from poor families are dressed as brides. (The
cost of dressing each little girl is 50 €. However, the
happiness of these little girls compensates our efforts.
The
association also organizes the collective circumcision of
about sixty little boys every year accompanied by presents for
the kids.
In
the context of our agreement with the Directorate of prisons
of the Ministry of Justice, our association distributes
blankets and clothes to the prisoners of Tetouan and its
regions, especially the female prisoners.
The Association offers television sets with a large screen, blankets, etc… to the Psychiatric Hospital of Tetouan which the patients appreciate greatly.
