In 2016 we found out about the Light2Learn project School Run 2017, which will install solar power at a number of schools in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Since then, we have been planning and organizing our lives so we could join this project. We will be driving from Sweden to Morocco (and back) in my 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser 100 during the autumn of 2017.

An embryo is started

It all started when I asked my friend Klas if he had any cool upcoming trips. He mentioned something about a Morocco trip in October next year, where he would drive down to the Atlas mountains and participate in some charity/volunteer project. There was talk about sheikhs and wonderful adventures, and I thought it sounded interesting.

As I started thinking about it, it grew on me more and more. Drive to Morocco. What an adventure! I started lobbying for this at work, and since they had never had such a request before, and since I am working in an American company, it was easy to convince them that volunteer work would be an ok excuse to be away for a month. And this really set things in motion...
