"All the colors of Morocco"

Mom asked me if I was to write a book what would I title it.... I think I would settle with, All the colors of Morocco. This experience has been so life changing. I just said goodbye to some of my closest volunteers, it was very emotional to see them walk out the front door for the last time. Since the first day of this journey we have all been together, seeing, experiencing, watching. laughing, crying, talking, barfing, eating, traveling and volunteering all as a group-- and now that grooup is disolving. I guess its something I always knew was going to happen, but I didnt realize the emotion I would be hit with when it did. Today was also my last day at the Family Protection Agency. I went to work today with candy for all the children to help in my farewell. It was an interesting day for me because I was really trying to absorb everything--to not miss any detail that I may not have been noticing before. Hyat brought in the coloring books that I had brought for "drerri" earlier this week and we colored pages from the books. Later on we went to the theatre room and the children danced for me. Towards the end of my day Jose (director of association) had all the children sit in a big circle with me in it as well. One by one the child came to me kissed me on each cheek gave me a hug and said "bye bye" Many of them added a "shukran" which is thank you in Arabic. It was so sweet to know that the association appreciated me being there and all the children cared so much as well. Its so difficult to put into words my feelings here, its sureal to know that this is coming to an end. I can truely say this experince is one in a million. I will never forget all the vibrant colors of Morocco.
