TARFAYA, Morocco, May 12 (Reuters) - In a small fishing town in Morocco s south, wedged between the Atlantic Ocean and the Sahara, a group of idealistic young surfers are teaching local children to brave the crashing waves.
A day s drive from the cities of northern Morocco, and on the fringe of the world s greatest desert, the group has set up a beachfront cafe where young people can gather, learn and have fun in the sleepy port of Tarfaya. We have a deal here. Everyone who leaves Tarfaya has to come back and do something for the town, said Salim Maatoug, a wiry 26-year-old who worked as a tour guide in Marrakesh.
