It's so hard... When the end of February comes, it's the hardest for me. No one can fill that void. Despite all the good I do, the projects and messa… - Latifa Ibn Ziaten

I'm very proud of what I've done. I never thought I would become a grassroots woman, but I've managed to save many young people, families, and even adults in difficulty. That's why I must continue. I have two to three conferences a week, my schedule is very busy, but I don't give up. As long as I'm healthy! It's a mission I have today. My children and my husband help me a lot. If that weren't the case, it would be difficult for me. And I hope that when I no longer have the strength, someone will take up the torch. We need women and men in the field. The only thing I regret is that I don't see my grandchildren much because I travel so often. And yes, I stay in touch with young people, I don't forget them. I contact them when there are difficult times, I help them. I lost a son, but today, I have many children.

My grandparents and my husband's grandparents lived in M'diq. Imad loved this place, he loved the sea, he was a boy who loved life. I buried him in M'diq because it was his choice. Every time I come, I tell him: "I think I did the right thing burying you here, it's hard for me because I'm far from you." But his grave faces the sea and he's surrounded by his family. When I miss talking to him, I buy a plane ticket and go to Morocco. When I go to see him, I stay an hour, two hours, I tell him everything, I clean the grave, I tell him I'll come back.

Since Covid, many children have dropped out of school in Morocco. So we're going to try to recruit these 10-, 11-, and 12-year-olds, and then there will be others of all ages. We'll work with local public schools. The center will be open Monday to Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., to guide young people who have dropped out of school, support them, and work with their parents.
