Benefits and advantages of the program: |
|
|
Cross-Cultural Solutions operates in Rabat, the capital city of Morocco and home to King Mohammed. Located on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Rabat is a beautiful, cosmopolitan city that many consider an archeological Mecca. The modern businesses and buildings contrast against many ancient sites, including intricately designed mosques and towers. The City of Rabat, the fourth of the imperial cities reflects the continuing vitality of old customs dating back to the 12th century. This ancient city became refuge for many of the Muslims driven out of Andalucia during the Spanish Inquisition in the 1600s.
In Rabat you will see many colourful markets selling fresh food, artisan markets selling arts and crafts (and the well-known Moroccan hand-woven carpets), and plenty of European style cafes to sit and drink tea while watching the city go by.
Volunteers in Morocco may be involved with caring for infants and children, teaching children, teaching English, assisting teachers, working towards women's empowerment, sharing their professional skills/experience, observing and assisting local health professionals, and assisting teachers of special education.
