Alternative Spring Break Trips with Projects Abroad
Location
Costa Rica: Guanacaste
Jamaica
Mexico: Tecoman
Morocco: Rabat
Description
Morocco is a fascinating country located between worlds, sharing culture with Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. In the capital city of Rabat, traditional Moroccan culture coexists with modern pop culture. It is also a city of great socio-economic diversity, with residents ranging from King Mohammad VI, one of the world's richest men, to rural migrants living in slums.
The Culture and Community trip in Morocco focuses on volunteering in the community and learning about this unique country. The group will spend the week taking Arabic lessons, doing community work like painting a school and volunteering with children, and visiting significant cultural and historical sites.
Highlights
Volunteers on the Community Building project live with local host families in Mandeville, a lively town in the rolling hills of south-western Jamaica. At the end of the week you will be rewarded for your hard work with a trip to the beach or a refreshing waterfall.
If you have time you can do this project for a second week at the regular 2-week trip price.
