Chefchaouen, Morocco

Chefchaouen, Morocco
Morocco was among the first countries to invite the Peace Corps to assist in its development process. A group of 53 surveyors, English teachers, and irrigation supervisors arrived in Morocco in 1963 at the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Since then, more than 4,300 Volunteers have served in the Kingdom of Morocco ~ from "Peace Corps Welcome to Morocco" publication. Photo by Aluna Ademasu.

Peace Corps trainees traveled to Meknes for ongoing training.  Teachers and Moroccan staff also attended, and provided lively traditional entertainment at a couple of our meals.


We were on our own for dinner both nights, so Mal and I dined with new Peace Corps friends Steve and Jenny.  One restaurant served fascinating orange sculptures to accent their succulent cuisine.

















At the end of training, we were fortunate to spend a couple of hours exploring the old medina with our younger friends.
