"We offer American and Moroccan students the opportunity for both intensive personal growth and a monumental physical journey of discovery in Morocco. During this time of common cultural misunderstandings, there is a call for the next generation to become leaders who understand the major challenges to cross-cultural conflicts and who have the capabilities, commitment and grit to address them. " -Morocco Exchange
"Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced - even a proverb is no proverb to you till your life has illustrated it." John Keats (1795-1821) |
