and a chat to travel blogger Lauren or the story of the Nasio Trust, a twenty-year-old charity dedicated to helping vulnerable children.
Dear kopral,
First stop this week is the gorgeous Moroccan city of Essaouira, where whitewashed blue-shuttered houses, workaday fishermen and a bustling, get-lost-in souk exist alongside trendy art galleries and cool boutique hotels. Disclaimer: our first timer's guide to Essaouira is guaranteed to give you a serious bout of wanderlust.
As part of our Tell Us Your Story campaign, we also chatted to travel blogger Lauren – of Lauren Plus Justin fame – about coronavirus and all things travel, including her hopes for a more sustainable post-Covid future. And that's before we come to Kenya, where we share the story of the Nasio Trust, a twenty-year-old charity dedicated to helping vulnerable children through education, heath and sanitation projects.
Have fun,
Helen

Essaouira is situated on Morocco's Atlantic west coast, and feels a world away from its frenetic neighbour, Marrakech. Whether you want to make the most of the waves, wander around local art galleries or navigate the medina for souk finds, there's plenty of interesting things to see and do in Essaouira for first-time visitors.
Justin Plus Lauren is a travel blog, following the adventures of a Canadian couple called – you guessed it – Justin and Lauren. They are passionate about ethical and eco-friendly travel. We chatted with Lauren to understand more about her experience of coronavirus, and what it could mean for travel in the future.
Home to the only tropical rainforest in Kenya, Kakamega County is a draw for travellers seeking off-the-beaten-track adventures.
But the region is also home to the Nasio Trust. This trailblazing charity has been helping vulnerable children and empowering communities in western Kenya for twenty years. The Trust has also responded swiftly to the Covid-19 pandemic.
