In partnership with Groupe Maroc Horizons, a local Non-Governmental Organisation, AfricaTrust sends a group of volunteers twice a year to participate in a development project in Taroudannt, South Morocco.
Taroudannt
The Main Square
The project offers a full three-week induction course in Arabic, Moroccan culture and history, alongside specific preparation for the roles volunteers will be carrying out.
All volunteers are fed and lodged in a Moroccan host family, giving them a unique insight into the everyday lives of Moroccans and a key view into their culture.
During the programme, a number of guided excursions around Morocco take place, including a final long trip at the end of the project to the mighty Atlas Mountains or the great Sahara desert.
As a volunteer, you could be working in the local orphanage, caring for babies or organising activities for the disabled unit, teaching English or basic IT, assisting in a class of deaf and dumb children, or organising sporting, musical or theatrical events for the children of the community.
So, if you are an enthusiastic French/Arabic speaking volunteer and would like to improve the lives of underprivileged youth, while learning about Arabic/Islamic/North African culture- we would like to hear from you!
