Teaching in Morocco

It is so difficult to put my experience here in Morocco Rabat down into words. But I will try. Since arrival on the first day and until now my second to last day I have felt so welcomed and at home. Firstly, Ali; the country director, was warm, understanding, cultured and approachable wich made my stay here safe and fun.

Secondly, the Moroccan host family we stayed with could not have made us feel more at home :) from beautiful Moroccan cuisine to advice to general laughter and comfort. I will miss them so much.

Staying and working in the heart of the medina was incredible ; at first it was somewhat culture shock; but a great one that I adapted to well! The school and the teaching experience here has been unforgettable and so rewarding. The teachers have been helpful, and the children were eager and appreciative. I feel I have had some impact on their lives through fun, teaching Englsh, actitvities and reading stories and it is a great feeling.

Whilst volunteering here, I feel I have gained so much experience memories and inspiration. I have eagerly immersed myself into the Moroccan culutre; visited places in Morocco such as Marrakech and Casablanca and ultimately I feel inspired to return to Morocco and also volunteer elswhere in the wolrd.

Volunteering Solutions has been amazing and I would recommand their program anyone else to come to Morocco and gain the experience that I have
