Description

Morocco is a fascinating country located between worlds, sharing culture with Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. In the capital city of Rabat, traditional Moroccan culture coexists with modern pop culture. It is also a city of great socio-economic diversity, with residents ranging from King Mohammad VI, one of the world's richest men, to rural migrants living in slums.

The Culture and Community trip in Morocco focuses on volunteering in the community and learning about this unique country. The group will spend the week taking Arabic lessons, doing community work like painting a school and volunteering with children, and visiting significant cultural and historical sites.

Highlights

Volunteers on the Community Building project live with local host families in Mandeville, a lively town in the rolling hills of south-western Jamaica. At the end of the week you will be rewarded for your hard work with a trip to the beach or a refreshing waterfall.

If you have time you can do this project for a second week at the regular 2-week trip price.

Projects Abroad's Mission Statement

As part of the global economy, Projects Abroad helps create local employment wherever we send volunteers. Employing local staff overseas and using their talents and knowledge is important to us. This local knowledge and support enables the organization to channel the skills of the volunteers from more affluent countries to regions around the world where they are needed. Volunteers also learn from their placements and the people they meet, and they gain experience in a chosen field. In the 21st century, we believe this mutual respect is what cultural exchange is all about.
