Ms Chenna said Moroccans can be very generous when they are confortable that their charity wil be put to good use. She also asked the audience for more patience because the mentalities are slow to change. " I was taken to court in th eighties by the Islamists because they accused me of "encouraging debauchery" by helping single mothers, Now many of them support our actions and understand our aims"
MoroccoBoard TV was on hand to cover the event and record an interview, produced by Mr. Said Zriri and AVA's Mohamed El Hajjam, with Ms Chenna.

Il y en a qui agissent pour le bien des enfants et il y en a qui parlent pour ne rien dire! La plupart des femmes qu'elle a recueillies et encadrées auraient fini dans la rue.... Longue vie à Mère Aisha Chenna!
