Sara Byler had the unique privilege to spend two months in Meknes, Morocco studying the Moroccan culture and society as well as participating in service learning. The first four weeks were spent studying Arabic and the Moroccan political system as well as taking in the beauty all around Morocco. The next four weeks, Sara had the privilege of working at an organization called Ibtissama. This center was located in a secluded part of the city. Their mission was to give the women and children the skills needed to obtain jobs and to secure their own independence. Along with five other women, Sara helped run a summer school for the children of the community. Out of the 70 kids in the program Sara taught a social learning/English class to students ages 1-8 years old. Everyday Sara planned lessons and taught through sensory and developmental play. Through this experience, Sara was able to observe the daily life of mothers and children in Morocco. She had the honor of working and laughing with the women as she showed them what a free educated woman can do. Sara was also impacted by living and learning alongside of 30+ preschoolers. Sara and her team worked on teaching the students how to communicate, share, express emotions, and so much more. Sara observed that during the four weeks she spent there with her team the number of physical altercations between her students diminished drastically. Sharing, laughing and their level of curiosity increased in a healthy manner and helped them learn how to interact with each other. This was all because we took the time to give them individual care. In the last few weeks Sara’s team worked to share what they had learned with the mothers and employees of the organization. They trained the teachers and mothers how to respond to a physical altercation, how to discipline without physically hurting the child, and how to communicate with the children in a healthy way. Sara also experienced the Moroccan culture first-hand through living with a host family, riding the grand taxis every day, and traveling all over Morocco including visiting the capital Rabat and the Sahara Desert.
