"My story is only the beginning. It is a point in a sea of interesting stories of the people in the Hofra. The stories here are about the tragedies that have happened to these people. Through this blog I will be a voice for the people who don't have a voice. A voice of hundreds of residents. Men. Women. And even children." Leila Gouacih 'The Hofra Diaries'
"An unusual facet of my personality, is my love of visiting the past. And that is why I have decided to write about my memories and ideas. I want the world to know there is a girl named Zineb Mouhoub that has an ability to express herself without fear." 'The Tales of Zineb'
"We have learned a lot of things from these interviews like patience, namely how to be good listeners. We were very impressed by the stories of these people. Even with the life they live and their sufferings, these people are ready to help. They are always smiling despite their problems. They are models for our lives." 'Hidden Sidi Moumen'
