I haven't been doing much recently besides hanging out in my town. I will start my health lessons next week inshallah so things should be getting pretty busy soon. I actually wanted to update this today because I have been learning a few things about Moroccan migrant work in Spain. I spent the better part of this morning calling various agricultural offices in Spain to try to help some women from my town. There is actually quite a substantial number of women from my town that go to Spain every year to work on the berry harvests in early spring. There were a couple women who hadn't been invited to go back this year so they asked me to call and find out why. They don't speak spanish and my tamazight insn't that great but in any case i was playing translater. haha. It was quite interesting really. The people in Spain kept wanting to know who I was so I had to explain my role as a peace corps volunteer and then I had to ask them about the migrant work that these women do. I will try to learn more aout it from these women so that I can write a more well informed entry next time. I will leave it at that for now :)


For lack of a better image, I have posted this. haha. Here, I am hanging out at my host family's house on the day after Ramadan ended. They make all those cool rugs that I am sitting on :)
