VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS IN MOROCCO
A volunteering in Morocco leads you to discover yourself, to help others and to enjoy all the cultural heritage it holds within its walls and streets.
Walking through its streets, asking for mint tea, bargaining in the markets or simply touring the desert makes Morocco an irresistible place.
With the support of local staff and volunteers in Morocco who each year join the solidarity camps in Morocco, it has been possible to carry out different leisure and free time workshops, as well as informative talks for the children through educational and artistic materials.
