Volunteer Placement in Morocco Announced!

I am so thrilled to share my volunteer assignment in Morocco. The Partner Program that I will be working with is the Ibny Street Children Association assisting teachers and teaching young children.

General Information Mission and Needs of the Partner Program
The association’s goal is to improve the lives of underprivileged children. Many of the children at Ibny are often found begging on the streets of the medina of Rabat. The Ibny Association seeks to create a social and educational structure for these children, by providing clothing, medical care, classes, books, extra-curricular activities (drawing, songs, painting, and sports) and meals to the children.

Volunteer Activities / Duties Include:
• Organize activities, including games, songs and arts & crafts.
• Assist the teachers with providing lessons in Basic English and arts and crafts, including singing and playing.
• Provide individual attention to the children.
• Be a role model. Encourage and praise the children while also enforcing rules of good behavior.

The association was created in March 2006 and consists of 20 members who are driven by a passion to help children. Funding is provided by other NGOs, some governmental assistance and private donors.
