Being around fellow volunteers and the Moroccan citizens, who did not have much, yet were so kind, giving, and selfless all for the sake of God and goodness, helped me gain a new perspective on my life as a Muslim and a human being. From the hospitality of the villagers, who generously served us delicious Moroccan food, to the joyful smiles on the faces of the children, who wanted nothing more than to simply hold my hands, everyday turned out to be a blessing and an adventure.

The greatest experience in Morocco for me was the time I spent in the villages. The villages of Ighil and Tadaf and the people that live there (some of the kindest, hardworking, positive, and grateful people I have yet to meet) will stay with me forever. I will never forget the children of those villages, and how happy they seemed to be, despite lacking the material things we have now come to regard as basic: running water, electricity, education, and technology.

The trip to the Blackfeet Reservation provides you with many valuable lessons, friendships, and lasting memories. As someone who has lived in the US their whole life I believe it is important to reflect on Native American history and the hardships they have endured. Over the course of my week on the reservation I volunteered at the local summer camp, worked on the Pastor's Ranch, and painted the school at the Blackfeet Head Start Early Education Program.
