Starting the Blog

Friends, relatives, and cyber stalkers -

Welcome! Vicariously travel with me the next 6 weeks. Follow along as I attempt to survive Northern Africa while learning from (and hopefully helping) the folks living in the Ighil village outside Agadir, Morocco.

"Oy Brent, you got a lot of chutzpah if you're planning to lounge on Moroccan beaches for a month and a half. What do you think you're doing over there?"

You know, that's quite a good question. Two things: I'll be researching, implementing, and documenting a water conservation/ownership project in the water scarce village. At the same time, I am helping start a women's cooperative that sells argan oil on international markets.

Stay tuned for further details and for the true beginning of my trip. 12 days to go.
