The US Ambassador in Morocco Made Me Swear

Today, Amber, myself, and 59 other excellent Americans were officially “sworn in” as Peace Corps Volunteers by the current US Ambassador in Morocco. Congratulations to all of you! This has been fun, but definitely not easy. Now the real work begins. Tomorrow, we will travel to our provinces and begin meeting our communities. In other exciting news, I ran for and was elected to work on the “PeaceWorks” committee which publishes a quarterly magazine created, written, and edited entirely by Moroccan volunteers. This is our creative outlet in Morocco, and a great way to express ourselves and stay connected. As a result of the job, I will be traveling to Rabat twice a year to work on every other published issue. Sounds like a lot of work and a lot fun too! Wish me luck.
