Sabaah Ikhiir
Good morning,
I enjoyed reading Alex's posting about Ramadan. Our group has spent almost every evening with families who have welcomed us and invited us over for Fatour (the meal for breaking the fast during Ramadan). We are enjoying warm hospitality, good food, and interesting intercultural discussions during the evenings.
Last night our group was invited over to the home of one of the Moroccan peer mentors. The girls ended up dancing with their peer mentor. The father, an excellent short story writer, shared some of his work.
Yesterday we took a tour of the old medina. We visited the oldest university in the world and saw many different artisans making crafts.
I hope that the students will share some of their stories about the tour and their feelings about Ramadan soon. Now I must meet the students for Arabic class.
Bismallah
