Short update...

Staging has come to an end. I have finally begun to learn about our destination, training site and also, language. It turns out that all Small Business Development volunteers will be placed in Berber locations. Which means that we will be:
1. Living somewhere in one of the mountain ranges.
2. Learning one of the two Berber dialects (which are non-written).
3. Training close to the city which is called “The Gateway to Sahara” and is approximately 8hrs from Rabat, over some serious mountains.

Holy crappolli! I guess I did have some expectations! And they were the opposite of what I have just mentioned. Well, I am glad that I at least packed a good amount of sweaters and my Russian, wool, babushka scarf (yey!).
