GEM Volunteer testimonial:
Teaching English to adults in the morning and children in the afternoon in Rabat, Morocco was a peak experience for me. Loved learning to navigate my way back and forth from the homestay to two different work assignments, living in the Medina, eating the food and walking to the beach. Now inspired to learn French and return to Morocco. I will try to learn a little Moroccan Arabic as well, but French seems more doable.
