Strange birds....
Op die zelfde markt zag ik wat vreemde vogels.....
On that same market I saw some strange birds......
Monkey in a bird cage
Op de markt in Tanger vond ik nadat ik een tip had gekregen deze aap, die zak in een vogekooitje en werd te koop aangeboden. Helaas is dit nog overal normaal en wordt er weinig aan gedaan. Inmiddels is deze aap in beslag genomen door mijn aangifte en naar Rabat Zoo verhuisd waar hij in een groter verblijf mag leven met soortgenoten. Maar goed, het diertje had natuurlijk in het bos moeten blijven waar het thuishoort!

At the market in Tanger I found this little monkey in a bird cage after somebody told me about it. It was for sale. Unfortunately this is still very common in Morocco and not much is being done about it. This little monkey has been confiscated after I warned the authorities and has been moved to Rabat Zoo where he can live his life in a larger cage with other monkeys. But needless to say, this monkey should have stayed in the forest where it belongs!

Finished flyer project
De afgelopen 3 weken hebben we geflyerd in Tanger en we hebben in totaal, inclusief Algeciras 50.000 flyers uitgedeeld, gemiddeld 2250 per dag!. Het was een project met vele horten en stoten, ivm autorisatitie om op de havens te gaan staan, maar uiteindelijk kunnen we het een succes noemen. De reacties van de ontvangers waren erg positief, men vond de inhoud ook erg interessant. We hebben nog in de krant gestaan en velen in de omgeving van de haven in Tanger zijn nu op de hoogte van onze doelstelling. Met veel dank aan mijn team bestaande uit Hajar, Sana, Sarah, Ismael, Mohammed 2x en Omar! We hebben met zijn allen keihard gewerkt, in de hitte, uitlaatgassen en soms vervelende omstandigheden met autoriteiten.

The last 3 weeks we have handing out flyers in Tanger and we have distributed 50.000 flyers including Algeciras. About 2250 a day! The project did not always go smoothly, we had some problems with the customs, autorities and authorisation to be able to work in the ports, but in the end we can say it was a great success! The people who received flyers weren very positive and found the flyer very informative. We even made the local paper and a lot of people in the neighbourhood of the port in Tanger now are informed of our objectives. Many thanks to my team consisting of Hajar, Sana, Sarah, Ismael, Mohammed 2x and Omar. We worked very hard in the heat, car fumes and sometimes very unpleasant situations with the authroities!
