Here in Azemmour, we have our own way of dealing with the pandemic and the stress of lockdown. Just this week we learned we will be in confinement until August 8. But in our medina and town streets, you won't find rioting or looting. Instead, you find a community coming together with ideas and enthusiasm about making our neighborhood even more special than it already was.

The medina has been alive with activity over the past few days, drawing painters from every corner of the city to leave their mark on our world. The transformation is breathtaking.

Until next time!
