Off to the Village

We leave today for two tiny villages, Beni Mellal and Fqih ben Saleh, two small, Moroccan villages in the middle Atlas mountains. Last year, the SIT Migration program that travelled there (shout out to Emily Blease) were the first Americans ever to set foot in these villages.

What's interesting about these villages is that despite their size, they are totally orientated around migration out of Moroccan. Every family has at least one relative living in Europe, mainly Italy.

I'll be back in Rabat on Tuesday what a dirty, muddy blogpost for you all...
