New york-based Moroccans set up charity association

Moroccans living in New York have set up a new charity association to support the Moroccan community living there and back solidarity actions undertaken in Morocco.

The "Moroccan Charity Association of New York," a volunteer non-political organization, will also be helping Moroccan new comers to New York and help them integrate in the new environment.

Among the actions projected, the association plans to hold a "Moroccan day" with New York city authorities, and summer camps for children of Moroccans living in the metropolis. It also projects to open a pedagogical and entertainment compound, comprising a conference hall and classrooms for the teaching of Arabic.
