Hi
Some peace corp volunteers have done great jobs in different parts of Morocco and they were good ambassadors of their own country. They also got to know that the kingdom is peace oriented not a colonizer, as the separatist Mohamed Samim claimed above.
I just want to tell the newcomers that the so-called “Western Sahara” has always been part and parcel of the Moroccan territory amputated by the spanish authorities but retrieved by King hassan II.
Those who opted for Morocco have made a wise choice.
So, they’re always welcome

i hope the Peace Corps Volunteers if interested in the human beings right to peace would like to visit us here but not in Morocco it is in the neighbooring territory which Morocco occupy for more than 30 years western sahara really it is the place where you have to be to see with your nacked eyes the daily human rights abuses committed by the Moroccan authorities and a splited people by a Moroccan wall which remainded us of the Berlin wall,so welcome everybody from the Peace Corps Volunteers and other organisations to western sahara to see another facets of the kingdom.

Brenda – Yes, although I don’t know them by name. I do know that Morocco’s PC program does accept/involve older volunteers, though.

I am looking into going into the Peace Corp and right now the number one country on my list is Morocco. I am interested to hear more about your day-to-day life and your experiences so far. I’m not sure the best way to go about this, maybe you can email me so we don’t have to make short comments back and forth : ) Thank you, Casey.

Peace Corps Bloggers is a great idea. I think it has enough momentum to get alot bigger.

I noticed all the PCVs swaring in have mentioned foreign and domestic. I think they missed that it’s the same as the army, a federal employee, and they are classified as the same. Alot of people wouldn’t go to swaring in or wouldn’t wear a suit. They changed the rules and if you weren’t present you were fired.

I was going to ask some questions about the photos, but you have to join Google corp. to do that.
