We received a great welcome at our host teacher’s school! A great banner spanned the courtyard with our faces smiling at us, and students greeted us in beautiful traditional chatan. We heard the Moroccan national anthem and then the American. Stephanie and I were both surprised at how emotional we felt by the anthem. There is something special about the anthem in another country, and representing our country made it especially sweet.
Meriem’s students worked for months to present about Moroccan culture. They had multiple stations where we learned about metal working, crafts, leather goods, traditional clothing, and, of course tea and cookies! At each station, the students gave their presentations, and presented us with a gift and took pictures!
I played some basketball with the girls, and the boys were interested in American football, and we threw a ball around a bit.
Question: What does the star signify in the Moroccan flag? See site here
"When the French and Spanish ruled Morocco, the flag was banned in most parts of the country. When Morocco gained independence in 1956, they resumed the use of the flag we see today flying proudly across the red city and Morocco."
