Africa » Morocco July 6th 2010

This delightful email was sent to the tour company and we thought we would share it with you. The concert was a resounding success. The Governor of Sidi Bernoussi offered the group a trophy and said that "in this Soccer World Cup atmosphere, you have not won the world cup, but you won the hearts of all the citizens of Casablanca". Both sides cried when listening to the national anthems sung by the other country's kids. People said that this event should be marked with gold on a stone in Hassan Skalli's Cultural center history. We also had a fruitful and wonderful gathering at Sid Moumen Cultural Center in the afternoon. We had a wonderful and colorful event at the restaurant. The youth had the opportunity to eat Moroccan, watch a great Moroccan folklore music and ... read more

Tony Parravano writes "Happy Independence Day! Of course it's the 4th of July here too-but it's not quite the same. We heard a great rendition of the Star Spangled Banner on the bus at midnight after an entertaining dinner with a Moroccan Floor Show (see photo for our dining room). We toured a school for girls in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains and a shelter for abused children in Marrakech. Late afternoon we gathered around an outdoor ampitheater for a very fun combined concert with our new Moroccan friends. Lots of stories to share. We have another concert today, so I'll try to get another update out later. Enjoy your fireworks, burgers & cherry pie. We will sing plenty of patriotic songs on the bus and think of all of you!" ... read more
